Hanging out on cloud nine as Three Eighty Stuart brings home its THIRD award in three weeks! Following an international award from Rethinking The Future and lauded as one of the country’s most sustainable designs in the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center and Built Environment Plus Embodied Carbon Reduction Challenge just weeks before, Three Eighty Stuart has been honored with a Green Good Design Award from The Chicago Athenaeum Museum for Architecture and Design! The Chicago Athenaeum’s Green Good Design program brings public awareness to revolutionary, future-forward ideas and design approaches that inspire progress towards a healthier, more sustainable world. We’re very proud and very grateful to celebrate with a fantastic team – here’s to more innovative, green design to come!

Ellen Perko has served as one of the prolific leaders of CBT since 1985, leading our firm through some of the finest and most sustainable residential designs that can be conceived of. We’re proud to join The American Institute of Architects (AIA) in celebrating this absolute rock star! 

Three Eighty Stuart has won a Rethinking The Future Award! This sustainable, forward-thinking design was selected from a stiff competition (more than 1,000 entries across 40+ countries!) and was honored with a Second Award for the Commercial Buildings Category. The award follows Three Eighty Stuart's recognition as one of just nine projects honored in the country’s first-ever Embodied Carbon Reduction Challenge, sponsored by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center and Built Environment Plus just weeks prior. Cheers, and a huge congratulations to the entire project team on this exciting win! Skanska, McNamara • Salvia, Structural Engineers, Cosentini Associates, Thornton Tomasetti

Award-winning design, inside and out✨ Park 151 has won a 2024 Rethinking The Future Award! This recognition brings Park 151’s architectural design story to the international stage, following two interior design awards (IIDA NE and Muse International) and a ULI award for the CBT-designed Cambridge Crossing (CX) master plan this past year. Expanding on the larger CX vision to transform the site of an inaccessible, contaminated railyard into a vibrant mixed-use community, the 20-story, 468-unit Park 151 introduces one of the first multifamily residences to the neighborhood, bringing with it a collection of retail and new public spaces. From its strategic massing and orientation to a community-driven street presence and colorful, detailed interiors, Park 151’s design is the architectural embodiment of Cambridge’s character: artistic and scientific, with an elegant minimalism that belies its complexity. Congratulations to the entire team!

A spectacular ending to an excellent Pride Month at CBT Architects! Our fifth annual Drag Bing fundraiser resulted in a $5,800+ donation to Greater Boston PFLAG AND a lot of fun by all who came! Thanks to all of the attendees and sponsors who supported the effort, to our talented host Just JP, and especially to my fellow CBT Proud folks who continue to amaze me with their creativity, hard work, and enthusiasm!

Central Armature Works has won a 2024 Rethinking The Future Award! Anything but a generic ode to an industrial aesthetic, the interior and amenities design of The Rigby and Market House – the two residential towers that make up Central Armature Works in DC's NoMa neighborhood – represent a model of modern urban dwelling, filled with 65,000 square feet of uncommon common space, indoors and out. With design both refined and abstract, the amenities of both multifamily buildings come alive through subtly synthesized art and craft. Interior material choices, bespoke furnishings, sculptural light fixtures, and artwork throughout give the project a unique aesthetic and a distinctive spirit of place. Congratulations to the entire project team!  Trammell Crow Company, Shalom Baranes Associates, Clark Construction Group, IMEG, Yellow Goat Design, Jefferson Millwork & Design

We love a progress pic — and a progress video is even better! In May, the timber frame for the community gathering space in the new Fleischner Family Admissions Center at St. Paul's School in Concord, NH, was hoisted into place. Just past the entrance to the 2,000-acre campus, the new building is a forward thinking and sustainability-minded addition to the school's stunning landscape, and when completed in early 2025 will serve as a dynamic welcoming spot for prospective students and their families and current members of the community alike.

We couldn’t be prouder to see our own CBT Principal and Chief Information Officer Nirva Fereshetian named to WomenTech Network's list of Top Women in Tech! Thank you, Nirva, for your inspiring leadership and continuous pursuit of innovation and discovery. Congratulations on this well-deserved honor!

Today is Juneteenth. This day marks the anniversary of the complete end of slavery in the United States in 1865, when the last enslaved Black Americans were finally freed. Today, we #CelebrateFreedom, honor a legacy of strength and resilience, and look ahead to the work to be done in the ongoing fight for equity and justice for all.
