Work: Selected

A modern home with familiar materials and a professional recording studio.

This project was an opportunity to design a house for two long time friends of the firm who were moving in together. MZA was tasked with gently placing a new home onto the site without disturbing existing trees and older stone walls, while also providing ample space for these newly blended households.

Segment is a 34-unit community of multi-story townhomes and stacked flat apartments spread across three buildings.

The clients wanted a place for their large, extended family to stay together during holidays as well as guest rooms for visiting clients to stay while in town and a large space to feed and entertain them.

In 2014 The Mainland Companies approached MZA to lead the design team for the adaptive reuse of the Elliott School building into 26 residential condominiums with ground level landscaped amenity lawns and private and common rooftop amenity terraces.

MZA was brought in to salvage a part of the history of this 1851 townhouse, and to make fundamental changes to its configuration, adapting it to our clients' modern lifestyle.

The owners expressed not only a love for Asian architecture, but a real connection with the outdoors.

The design process for the Galante Residence represented a true collaboration between architect, owner, landscape architect and interior designer. 

This project involved the renovation of a 1908 foursquare and the replacement of a 1960's apartment building attached to the house with urban lofts. The goal was to preserve the architectural style of the foursquare and build lofts that would be compatible with the neighborhood.
