10 Farnsworth

Located in the heart of Boston’s Fort Point Channel Landmark district, CBT’s design of 10 Farnsworth emerged from the desire to create a building that both acknowledges the neighborhood’s industrial past and celebrates its modern identity. The result is a six-story, 30,000-square-foot residential building that marries traditional building form with contemporary material expression, resulting in an elegant addition to one of Boston’s most historic districts. The design completes the streetscape with ground-level retail wrapping the corner of the block and a 40-foot long original art wall, created by a local artist.
