The tenant fit-up for Blue Front Technologies, a dynamic and growing telecommunications office located in Boston’s Historic North End, sought to provided greater square footage and flexibility to an office of hybrid workers.
The street level of Commercial Wharf overlooking Boston Harbor had a lot of potential, but the long and narrow configuration of the space, with dropped ceilings and a total of three windows, made for a drab interior with scarcely any natural sunlight. Decades of paint were stripped from the timber ceiling joists and brick walls to expose raw finishes that were splashed with cove lighting and wall washers. By incorporating glazed partitions and nesting sliding glass doors throughout, the design established a clear view from the front to back of the 1,400 sf space. Applying mirrored-surfaces at window jambs helped to bounce light into the interior from the waterfront, to achieve a bright, crisp and colorful place to work.
