Boston’s Margulies Perruzzi Architects has completed the design of a new 8,900-square-foot office for international life sciences venture capital firm SV Life Sciences Advisers LLC’s Boston office.
Margulies Perruzzi Architects (MPA) provided interior architecture and design services for SV Life Science’s new office at One Boston Place in Downtown Boston.
SV Life Sciences selected MPA on the recommendation of other Boston-area venture capital firms for which MPA has designed offices. SV Life Sciences also appreciated the interactive 3D capabilities that MPA offers. MPA used 3D design software (BIM) to involve the client throughout the hands-on, interactive design process and show work as it progressed, according to a statement.
The space features offices with views of the Custom House Tower and Boston Harbor, workstations, a boardroom with videoconferencing capabilities, and a central kitchen and social space. The neutral color palette is accented by custom natural cherry wood millwork with glass on and around each office door. To provide more light and maintain openness throughout the space, partial glass walls were used in the kitchen and workstations.
"From the start of our relationship, MPA understood the design aesthetic we were seeking and helped us achieve a space that is comfortable and welcoming for our staff and visitors," said Denise Marks, partner and CFO at SV Life Sciences. "MPA’s use of BIM helped us explore several design alternatives to achieve the desired layout of our new office, and we are pleased with the results."
The project team included Structure Tone for construction management, Vanderweil for mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering, and Providea Conferencing LLC for audiovisual design and installation. Silverman Trykowski Assoc. Inc. provided furniture selection and W.B. Mason provided furniture for the project.
