Unbuilt TBT. A decade ago, we studied a small entry pavilion addition to a raised ranch in Natick, MA. The design works with the sloped site to create a new entry and mudroom while carving out storage below the deck for firewood and garden tools. A compact intervention to rethink arrival, circulation, and everyday use.

Part of a broader effort to sustain working waterfront use in Salem, MA, the Brewer Hawthorne Cove Marina introduces a new boat repair building with offices, a café, and three ship bays for maintenance and repair. Oversized hangar doors allow direct access for boats via travel lift, supporting efficient operations on site. The lot is designed for seasonal flexibility—winter boat storage and summer parking—while maintaining continuity with the surrounding neighborhood. Adjacent to the House of Seven Gables, the project extends the site's long-standing industrial and seafaring use through careful integration with its historic context.

Site visit to Lynn, Massachusetts as the steel frame rises for the Boys & Girls Club of Lynn natatorium. A chance for the BLOOM team to be on site together—seeing the structure take shape and spending time with the group behind the work. @bgclynn
The building supports a layered program: pool below, flexible activity and learning spaces above, including a reconfigurable gym/theater with wall-to-wall turf, and a top floor dedicated to school-age childcare and a teen center.

Part of a broader update to a midcentury home in Lexington, MA, this primary bath draws from the surrounding woods to create a calm, spa-like space. Cedar cladding and deep green tile establish a quiet, grounded material palette across the room. The renovation is part of a larger scope including updates to the office, den, primary suite, and a new entry.

Bridging the Teen Center and the existing Club, the School Age Child Care (SACC) and Multipurpose Room provide safe, flexible, and engaging spaces for the Club’s youngest members.
The SACC area can be easily divided with operable partitions, supporting both group activities and smaller learning sessions. Adjacent to it, the Multipurpose Room features an adaptable stage and open layout — encouraging creativity, movement, and expression through performances and play.

From the main corridor, a staircase leads up to the second-floor gymnasium — a bright, flexible space that can easily shift between full-size basketball and volleyball courts.
Large curtain walls fill the court with daylight, while extended spaces at both ends offer extra seating for spectators during big games.
Next to the court, a Planet Fitness–sponsored teen gym provides members with dedicated training and wellness space — supporting both recreation and growth under one roof.

Nestled within Boston‘s historic South End, the 9 Follen Street Residence reimagines urban living through a lens of serenity and timeless refinement. The interior design embraces warm minimalism, where comfort, functionality, and understated elegance coexist in harmony.
A soft neutral palette defines the home’s tranquil atmosphere, allowing natural light to animate every surface and texture. Every element—from the selection of materials to the delicate layering of textures—has been thoughtfully considered to evoke a sense of calm sophistication. Subtle detailing and refined craftsmanship enhance the home‘s contemporary sensibility while preserving a timeless appeal.
The result is an interior that feels both elevated and effortless—a quiet retreat within the vibrant fabric of the city.

Inside the Calamba Residence, the design dissolves boundaries between indoors and outdoors. The spaces are crafted to evoke the stillness of the mountains, the openness of the golf course, and the fluidity of the sloping terrain. Natural materials—concrete, timber, and stone—connect the architecture and interiors to the surrounding environment, creating a tranquil, cohesive home that is both contemporary and timeless.
