February 2, 2010
| After 35 years doing architecture and design work, ADD Inc has no deficit of attention these days: everyone's watching its new offices in Fort Point—LEED Platinum with impressive views of the Financial District. |

| We snapped Vickie Alani, Michelle Lee,and Amanda Lennon at work on the interior renovation of 800 rental apartments at the 1960?s era Pru- owned by AvalonBay. Since the three towers are 98% occupied, the logistics are tricky—apartments are being redesigned as people move. The common areas are also getting a makeover, plus new amenities: a fitness center, coffee stations, and a conference facility. Vickie explained that the overall motif will embrace ?60?s modernism, a look that's once again cool. Thank goodness we saved those bell bottoms. |

| We snapped this on location. Did we mention the people at ADD are 800 feet tall? Tamara Roy, B.K. Boley, Brett Lambert, Ray Kettner, Elizabeth Trawick,and Werner Hofmann are designing a new residence hall at Mass. College of Art for 500 students. A 2nd floor health center will be shared by colleges in the Fenway and an approximately 20k SF plaza with plantings will be shared with the public. The art school is in step with its artistic neighbors, the MFA and Gardner Museum, which also have or will have world class additions. |
