The Lofts at Perkins Park
The Lofts at Perkins Park serve as an anchor for an emerging neighborhood within a major urban revival. With over 200,000 sf on five levels, this circa 1876-1909 building complex has been renovated into 183 loft style residences.
Originally powered via the man made canal over which the mills are built, the challenging renovations were designed to meet state and federal historic preservation tax credit requirements.
"I have worked with Ganek Architects on a very large commercial project and a small residential project. I could not have been more pleased with the results of both projects. The working relationship and end results far exceeded my expectations. Barry and his team are extremely talented designers and are very proactive, clever problem solvers. They understood what we wanted and were careful to meet our needs in the most cost effective way possible." Kathleen Kusiak Managing Partner Alta Properties

Winter Street Condominiums Cambridge, MA
Four new townhouses with off street parking replaced abandoned buildings in this 19th century residential neighborhood of East Cambridge. They sit on a tight 6,100-sf urban site.
Designed to seamlessly blend in with the facades of similar, neighboring houses in this long established community, the first building is sited directly on the front property line, similar to adjacent parcels.
To assist the developer in containing costs, we turned the footprint ninety degrees for the second house and duplicated the floor plan.

One of the buildings is a single-family home while the other three buildings are side by side attached homes. Each unit is complemented with either a 2-car garage or equal amounts of off-street parking.

Landmark Apartments Braintree, MA
This beautiful 1930’s Georgian style high school was renovated into 60 rental units after a devastating fire completely destroyed the interior. A painstaking reconstruction of many original architectural details complement the new layout of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units that all open out to a central, 3-story sky lit atrium that had previously been the school’s auditorium. A new glazed wall beneath the reconstructed proscenium arch of the former auditorium stage encloses a common function room. Linea 5. Inc. Arch. of Record
