The Boston Redevelopment Authority has announced the approval of a mixed-use transit-oriented development project on the former site of the Boston Clutch Works in Mission Hill.
The 75,00 square foot project at 1480 Tremont Street will include 66 rental units and street level commercial space wrapped around a courtyard garden, providing valuable open space for residents.
Fresh co-founder Alina Roytberg was recently featured in this month's issue of Boston Home Magazine. Boston Home took a behind-the-scenes peek at elements of her Brookline apartment completed in 2004, praising the neutral color palette and gray-stained ash floors designed by our team.
We here thought it was time we took our own fresh peek and show you some of what we love about her Brookline apartment.
Built-in bookcases are deep and wide enough to accomodate Roytberg's many "art/design/architecture/travel/passion" books.

The large, traditional floor plan was completely redesigned for the stylish family into a modern, open plan defined by walls of cabinetry, sliding screens and distinctive materials. The gray-stained floors and furniture in warm neutrals are accessorized with color.
The apartment is organized on a long axis running from the street facing living room through a sky lit open kitchen.
The home continues to the park facing bedrooms in the rear, which are bathed with light and provide a youthful retreat.
The original article about Alina Roytberg's home can be found in the Summer 2013 Boston Home magazine.
Mayor Menino toured the Innovation Center this morning, calling it "a place to make connections and to build relationships." The mayor also announced the new name of the building, District Hall, a reference to the central role it will play in the new innovation-centric Seaport District. “This novel approach to promoting and fostering collaboration to create new solutions, new businesses and new industries," said Mayor Menino, "will only further the City of Boston’s role as a global leader in solving the world’s greatest challenges through innovation."
As mentioned in the press release, the 12,000 square foot District Hall will be used for gatherings of startups and entrepreneurs as well as host a restaurant and test kitchen, all designed by our team.
