LIFESTYLE GROUP: Hospitality & Amenity Spaces

As one of Boston’s vibrant mixed-use luxury apartment communities, this design reflects the city’s thriving artistic community. It portrays a modern, romantic feel based on the intentional monochrome color palette with deep jewel tones. Each space was designed to be a casual environment to encourage mixing and mingling. Red Thread worked with over 80 vendors across the world from South Africa to Italy to furnish all the rooms and public spaces with swanky furniture, including the purple suede Songololo Sofa that accommodates up to 30 people. This high-end residential building boasts multiple lobbies, conference rooms, co-working spaces, roof decks, fitness center and dog washing station with pops of color incorporated throughout.

This confidential multitenant facility, originally built in 1913, embraces the vintage charm of the 1920s to create a welcoming and elegant environment. This building, which originally served as a Ford plant, has been transformed into a multi-use building for biotechnology, laboratory, and office use.

Red Thread furnished various spaces, including the coffee bar, lobby, wellness room, back lounge, and café seating area. The design ethos featured dramatic, vintage-looking pieces with soft, rounded edges that aligned with the building’s architectural curves. It features luxurious deep velvet in jewel tones and a consistent design that extends the stylish feel of the lobby throughout the space.

The wellness area consists of four spacious rooms, each equipped with its own shower, designed to serve as a rest and retreat space. This area maintains the same elegant feel as the lobby, seamlessly integrating the vintage-inspired aesthetic. The size and design allows it to support a significant number of users, providing a serene and rejuvenating environment that complements the historical charm of the building.

Each space was thoughtfully furnished to balance functionality with elegance, from ergonomic chairs to plush seating in the lounge. Red Thread’s careful selection of high-quality furniture ensured both beauty and durability, resulting in a timeless and sophisticated environment that honors the building’s heritage.

This confidential smart growth development company has been transformed along the Charles River in Watertown, Massachusetts. It draws upon the history of Watertown to create a true live, work, play environment. It offers a modern-day experience in apartment living with its industrial and sleek design while its amenity spaces sets it apart from all other living experiences in town. Residents have an abundance of choices in where they spend their time between work nooks, the library lounge, a game room, and an incredible outdoor escape onto the roof deck. Retail shops and restaurants spill into the outdoor areas, blurring the lines of inside and out to create an amazing urban village and strong sense of community.

Red Thread worked with 75 vendors to create a variety of residential settings with a professional specification and procurement of a corporate project. Through coordinating hundreds of products and managing several relationships, we helped reinvigorate the former location to become a destination of Watertown and the Boston metro area.
