From the interior décor to the art hanging on the walls, every material within the Archer was carefully considered and meant to evoke a sense of craftmanship and the timelessness of Beacon Hill.</p> <p>From the beginning, owners JDMD wanted to invest in original and local art as an approach to placemaking, engaging buyers and benefitting future residents. Throughout the building JDMD was supportive of adding distinctive artwork to make each floor feel unique and tailored to its residents, as opposed to displaying poster or stock images. Our whole team worked closely with JDMD and <a href="http://www.bostonartinc.com/">Boston Art</a> to curate a collection that blends style, technique, and media to give the luxury condominiums a bespoke residential feel.</p> <p class="rtecenter"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/bosart_38a_gallery_worktable_storagearea_np_62-el.jpg" style="width: 1200px; height: 900px;" /><br /> <em><a href="http://www.bostonartinc.com/">Boston Art</a> | Photographer: <a href="http://ericlaignel.com/home.html">Eric Laignel</a></em></p> <p>LDa has been lucky enough to work with the talented staff at <a href="http://www.bostonartinc.com/">Boston Art</a> on our residential and commercial projects, and they continually provide exceptional service. Whether through visits to their Boston showroom, or working remotely, they are dedicated to thoughtfully matching clients to artists, leveraging the depth and diversity of their collection. From the initial discussion through their personalized proposals, selection, customization, and installation, they make it easy for the design team and clients to select the best pieces for their project.</p> <p class="rtecenter"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/archer_artwork_presentation.jpg" style="width: 1200px; height: 675px;" /><br /> <em>Artwork Presentation by <a href="http://www.bostonartinc.com/">Boston Art</a></em><br />  </p> <p>For the Archer Residences, this process began with a group showroom visit, and an initial collection of options. Working together with the owners and Boston Art, LDa narrowed the selection down to a select group of pieces for the common areas and seven residential floors that represent a variety of artists and subject matter. Artwork was chosen on feedback from the owner designers to complement the interior design scheme, creating a cohesive atmosphere</p> <p class="rtecenter"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/the_archer_residences_lobby_5.jpg" style="width: 1200px; height: 1200px;" /><br /> <em>The Archer Residence's Lobby | Rendering by <a href="https://neoscape.com/work/">Neoscape</a><br /> Artwork Above Fireplace by <a href="https://lorischouela.com/home.html">Lori Schouela</a><br /> Reception Desk Artwork by <a href="https://www.mattshlian.com/">Matt Shilan </a></em></p> <p>In the lobby, there are two focal art pieces that welcome guests and residents. One is a bright white abstract piece that was made by a local artist <a href="https://lorischouela.com/home.html">Lori Shouela</a>— created from rose petals imprinted with an aluminum dye-sublimation process. The result is subtle and striking from afar, but up close it is minutely detailed and mesmerizing.</p> <p>The second piece was custom designed as part of the face of the lobby desk, and is being made by paper artist <a href="https://www.mattshlian.com/">Matt Shlian</a>, who creates folded geometric, modular forms in preset patterns. The piece for the Archer will be set behind a glass panel with specialized LED lighting to showcase the three-dimensional texture. If you scroll down below, you can see the artist creating our custom piece and the ombre effect of the dye on each section. We are thrilled at the result and are excited to see it get installed soon! </p> <p class="rtecenter"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/blog_archer_art.jpg" style="width: 1200px; height: 927px;" /><br /> <em><a href="https://www.mattshlian.com/">Matt Shilan</a> in his studio working on the custom piece of artwork for the Archer's reception desk.</em></p> <p>We hope you enjoyed this sneak peek into the Archer Residences, stay tuned for the installation of the art pieces in late Summer!</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/explore-lda/list/interior-design">Interior Design</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/explore-lda/list/archer-residences">The Archer Residences</a></div></div></div> Thu, 07 May 2020 19:10:29 +0000 LDa 2789 at https://www.lda-architects.com The Archer Residences | Progress https://www.lda-architects.com/explore-lda/archer-residences-progress <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>One of our projects, <a href="https://lda-architects.com/our-work/projects/archer-residences">The Archer Residences</a>, is well underway and we wanted to share some of the progress that is being made! The project is a historic renovation and conversion of a Suffolk law school building, original from 1910, and its 1960s addition, which we are in the process of coverting into 62 luxury condominiums. Inside, there are small and large scale residences all with bespoke details; offering old world charm intertwined with modern amenities and character. </p> <p class="rtecenter"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/archer_collage_4.jpg" style="width: 1250px; height: 1250px;" /></p> <p class="rtecenter"><em>Scroll down below to see some of the progress being made:</em></p> <p class="rtecenter"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/blogger_importer/archer_door_progress.jpg" style="width: 1200px; height: 602px;" /></p> <p>Residents will enter through a bronze, granite and brick mid-century modern entry across from the existing park on Temple Street. The entry is a nod to the new style of the building while incorporating historic components and contemporary materials. You can see that is really starting to take shape.</p> <p class="rtecenter"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/blogger_importer/archer_lobby_progress_0.jpg" style="width: 1200px; height: 1200px;" /></p> <p class="rtecenter"><em>Art (Above Fireplace): Lori Shouela</em></p> <p>The door opens into a sophisticated lobby adorned with artwork curated by Boston Art, a double-sided fireplace and concierge desk with a custom-made enclosed case of origami-work. LDa has worked closely with the development team to procure the most luxurious materials and finishes for the common spaces and homes, including copper, imported marble from Italy, oak, wood paneling, and tiling from Ann Sacks. All the materials are sleek and timeless, yet based in craft and tradition. </p> <p class="rtecenter"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/archer_unit_progress_0.jpg" style="width: 1200px; height: 597px;" /></p> <p>Shown above is the "transitional" unit type that will have walnut wood cabinetry with brushed copper accents and some lucky units will include these incredible original arched windows. You can even tell now that the view will be amazing!</p> <p><em>Architect: The Architectural Team, Inc.<br /> Interior Architecture and Design: LDa Architecture &amp; Interiors, LLP<br /> Builder: Consigli Construction<br /> Landscape Architect: Copley Wolff Design Group<br /> Renderings: Neoscape<br /> Art Consultant: Boston Art</em></p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/explore-lda/list/archer-residences">The Archer Residences</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/explore-lda/list/progress">Progress</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/explore-lda/list/lda-projects">LDa Projects</a></div></div></div> Thu, 16 May 2019 14:20:00 +0000 LDa 2620 at https://www.lda-architects.com
