Chapman recently completed a renovation of the historic lobby at One Winthrop Square in downtown Boston. The owner, DivcoWest Real Estate, selected Dyer Brown as the Architect with a goal of modernizing the lobby while keeping the original historic elements and design intent. This was achieved through the reuse and restoration of period details combined with modern materials reminiscent of historic Boston architecture. The lobby’s atmosphere was transformed by the meticulous restoration of the original millwork and the installation of contrasting tile floors and LED lights. New HVAC systems designed by WB Engineers were installed in the vestibule and lobby and elevator finishes were refreshed. This project, executed in an occupied building while the lobby remained fully operational, was completed by the Chapman team of Jim Dow, Jonathan Prime, Alec White and Rich Elliott.
