Ames Boston Hotel
Boston – Architectural and interior design firm Glen & Company Architecture of New York City has been selected by Gencom and Gemstone Hotels and Resorts to redesign the Ames Boston Hotel in its multimillion-dollar renovation. Gencom recently announced that through its new partnership with Gemstone, it acquired the 114-room hotel in the heart of Boston. Glen Coben, founder and owner of Glen & Co., along with his team, will be responsible for redesigning the guest
rooms and public spaces of the historic Boston hotel. Originally constructed in 1893, the Ames Boston Hotel will be redesigned to reflect the hotel’s iconic history, uniqueness, and prime location in the heart of Boston. The multimillion-dollar renovation will reposition the hotel and transform it into a destination location for business and leisure travelers, offering them the finest accommodations in Boston.
Dedham, MA – Erland Construction, of Burlington, recently completed an extensive redesign and modernization of a former greeting card factory at 100 Rustcraft Road in Dedham for developer The Davis Companies, followed by an interior build-out of offices for General Dynamics C4 Systems. Erland worked with architect Spagnolo Gisness Associates on both phases to finish this project in 14 months. The base building and façade project began with demolition and stripping down to steel of a two-story structure, originally constructed in 1954. Erland
then performed 130,000sf of interior improvements. The expansive new office features industrial design with a mixture of open ceilings and ceiling tile as well as exposed metal beams. The space includes labs, focus rooms, pantry areas, and a gym and locker rooms in addition to the office space. The Erland, Spagnolo Gisness & Associates, and AHA team adeptly handled the logistics of working with the tenant’s security contractors while construction was under way and mitigated any disruption to the existing tenants, the American Red Cross and Bank of America.
