RUTLAND SQUARE - boston, MA

A comprehensive renovation and redesign were undertaken for a 1,500-square-foot, two-story condominium in Boston's South End neighborhood. The project encompassed the complete transformation of the main living areas, kitchen, two full bathrooms, and two bedrooms.

The design concept was inspired by an existing curved wall that separates the building’s shared stairwell from the unit. This curved element served as the foundation for a cohesive design strategy. A "ribbon" metaphor was employed to unify the kitchen and main living room, as well as the upper and lower floors. This continuous cladding wraps around the walls, connecting the spaces horizontally and vertically. Curved corners enhance the fluidity of the design, framing various architectural and interior elements as the ribbon flows throughout the home.
