The St. Regis Residences, Boston

Project Information

Overlooking Boston Harbor, the design of the twisting sculptural form of the St. Regis Residences, Boston, celebrates the forces of the sea and evokes the billowing sails of ships plying the harbor.
The 22-story building in Boston’s Seaport District is designed for LEED Silver certification with 114 condominiums, 10,000 square feet of restaurant space, and an underground garage.
A large open-air deck at ground level wraps around the building for public enjoyment, completing another segment of Boston’s Harborwalk.

401 Park Repositioning

Project Description

Opened in 1928, the 1M-square-foot Sears Roebuck & Co. store, warehouse, and distribution center was a retail powerhouse until Sears abandoned the building in 1988.
Now called 401 Park, the historic landmark is once again a neighborhood cornerstone, paying homage to the Fenway’s legacy while serving as a dynamic day/night destination for visitors, workers, and residents.
The mixed-use hub links Boston’s Fenway and Longwood Medical neighborhoods by activating common areas on the garage level, ground-floor lobby, and second-floor atria and lobby as well as the exterior realm.
Design solutions include creating a new social entry space, stripping interiors to reveal the building’s authentic character, creating a custom railing with Boston-centric names and places, creating a space for the 25,000-sf Time Out Market food hall, and introducing public art inside and out.

Architects created a grand atrium at 401 Park but cutting away sections of floor plate and revealing the building's industrial character

The three-level iron staircase leads from the ground-floor lobby up to the second level lobby with two office atria, or down to underground parking.

An extension of the second level lobby overlooks the constant activity in Time Out Market, as does the office space on the right-hand side.

Auerbach Center at Boston Landing

Project Description

Named for the legendary Celtics coach, the 70,000-sf Auerbach Center at Boston Landing dramatically cantilevers toward a major commuter highway atop a mixed-use building that is elegantly massed as a skewed stack of three two-story elements.
Lighting, materials, and color considerations purposefully chosen to help simulate game-day experiences; the practice courts feature the team’s signature red oak parquet flooring.
Highlights include a sports science lab, training/recovery facilities, a therapeutic floatation tank, and a medical room with bone-imaging capability. Court-embedded “force-and-motion” floor plates collect data on player performance.

Meriel Marina Bay

Project Description

This amenity-rich, mixed-use residential complex offers 352 apartments in an oceanside community just south of downtown Boston.
The firm designed all common areas, including the lobbies, club rooms, lounges, fitness center, and kitchen/café spaces.
Design touches, like a handmade felted wool wall-covering, lends softness while the colors throughout the space transition from rich ocean hues to earthy tones.

One Seaport

Project Description

Two separate, interactive mixed-use buildings covering two city blocks, each building with a three-story base of retail, restaurant, and entertainment venues.
Atop the two podia are two 22-story residential towers offering 832 apartments, including nearly 100 “innovation units.”
Generous amenities include a 24-hour concierge, underground parking, bicycle storage, and an 8,000-square-foot common space, a business center, fitness center, and a play area for pets.
Provides 24/7, pedestrian-friendly street life to this rapidly growing neighborhood.

Pier 4

Project Description

Mixed use office building with 20,000 square feet of rentable retail space on the ground floor and 367,400 square feet of rentable, first-class office space on the upper 12 floors..
Ground floor activated with restaurants, cafes, shops, and a pass-through lobby that connects to the public Harborwalk.
Penthouse level includes a terrace on the northwest side of the building overlooking Boston Harbor and the city skyline.
The use of a non-interlocking curtainwall marks an architectural first in Boston, allowing each façade to interact with its neighbors.

Photographer: Magda Biernat

“Each massing move and its correspondent façade responds to the surrounding exterior site elements. The most visible, the East façade, expresses dynamic, meandering movement that is achieved by the shifting of paired floors. These moves have been carefully studied to avoid any interlocking of the intersecting floors.”

The Ohio State University – South Campus Gateway

“We have felt very satisfied, very comfortable with the decision to hire Elkus Manfredi. They really understand the demands of urban design and the complexities of mixing uses in buildings.

Terry Foegler

Former Associate Vice President, Planning and Real Estate Operations at The Ohio State University

Project Description

This 887,000-sf mixed-use development has transformed a neglected urban area—and the main entry to the campus—to create a welcoming college-town environment and sense of arrival to the OSU campus.
Strategically planned mixed-use programming included 225,000-sf of street-level retail, 12 restaurants, an eight-screen cinema, 180 residences, and the relocated University bookstore.
A unifying urban design project, the Gateway has made the University’s cultural resources more available to the City of Columbus, creating incentive for junior faculty and others to live in surrounding residential neighborhoods, thereby reclaiming the formerly rundown area.

Liberty Wharf

Project Description

Set on a rebuilt pier on Boston Harbor, Liberty Wharf combines three architecturally distinct buildings hosting five restaurants and office space with a half-acre of outdoor deck, public boardwalk, and touch-and-go docking slips.
The buildings and wharf are designed to frame harbor views from the street, connect the Seaport District to the harbor, and complete a missing link in Boston’s HarborWalk.
The home of Legal Sea Food’s flagship restaurant and 50,000 sf of specialty Class A offices, Liberty Wharf has already become an icon in Boston’s youngest neighborhood.
