Revitalizing a Historic Space for Modern Science

The Charles River Mills Spec Lab in Newton, MA, showcases a seamless blend of historical charm and high tech laboratory design. This lab conversion project, set within a brick-and-beam building dating back to 1900, offers a unique environment for a single office and lab user. With its high ceilings, expansive windows, and exposed brick and beams in the office area, the space provides an inspiring work atmosphere, while the lab area maintains a clean, functional environment.

• Transformed a historic brick-and-beam building into a state-of-the-art lab and office space, designing a clean and efficient lab area while maintaining functionality within the historic structure.
• Capitalized on the existing high ceilings and large windows to enhance natural light and create an open, airy environment.
• Created a small amenity café in an underutilized lower level space, providing additional value for building tenants.
• Aligned the interior design with the landlord's branding palette, ensuring consistency across their lab portfolio.
