On The Boards…
distill is currently working on a multi-unit Apartment project. The goal is to combine good design, solid and simple building science principles, and sustainable site strategies to bring on line an elegant solution for an urban under-utilized space. Stay tuned for further updates as the project moves along.

THE ‘BOX OFFICE’ COMPLETED
The ‘Box Office’ is complete and the first tenants moved in during the month of September. Designing an innovative building is fun. However, designing an innovative building is even more fun when it works and succeeds in the eyes of the client. Here, the intention was to provide a first-of-its kind, highly-efficient, Class-A office space at a price people would find attractive. It has filled consistently over the first few months and is currently 75% leased up. In terms of energy, we are tracking the overall usage and will share the data when we present at NESEA’s BE coming up in March (www.nesea.org).

Please see the photo-thread below which depicts the Box Office in its finished stage.
