Located just minutes from historic downtown Bedford, MA, The Residence at Bedford is a new 91,000 square foot senior living community. Sited in a residential neighborhood with the Minuteman Bike and Walking Path behind, the community is specifically designed to complement the surrounding homes and allow public and residential access to the trail. The development houses 92 one and two-bedroom units with 66 units dedicated to assisted living residents and 26 units for memory care. The modern farmhouse-inspired design is realized through crisp white siding with board and batten accents and covered porches with contrasting dark gray metal roofs. Courtyards create indoor and outdoor connections while expansive areas with raised garden beds allow residents to nurture their own gardens. LCB Senior Living, LLC

TAT Interiors | The completion of The Stone Mill marks the transformation of a historic mill in Lawrence, MA into an all-electric mixed-income multifamily community. The interior design approach weaves a modern, functional aesthetic with historic elements such as the original cast iron columns, heavy timber beams, wood ceiling deck, and shiplap siding details. Residents enjoy a multitude of on-site amenities including an expansive resident lounge and kitchen, a billiards room, a fitness center, a children’s playroom, work-from-home pods, a historic mill exhibit room, and access to an outdoor patio.

“We believe Stone Mill Lofts is one of the most significant projects to result from our longstanding partnership with WinnDevelopment because it sets a new standard for how historic preservation and adaptive reuse can address the affordable housing crisis and climate change at the same time. This is the future of historic adaptive reuse, and we’re honored to be a part of this story.” - Scott Maenpaa, TAT Project Manager. The Stone Mill is one of the first all-electric mixed-income multifamily communities in Massachusetts. The $39.2 million adaptive reuse development has transformed the oldest mill in Lawrence into affordable housing offering 86 one-, two-, or three-bedroom units. The sustainable design restored the building’s historic granite stone exterior and slate roof, sourced from regional quarries. Four inches of insulation and high-performance, triple-pane historic replica windows were installed creating an airtight building envelope and allowing for high-efficiency electric building mechanical systems. The Stone Mill is expected to use 46 percent less energy and emit 33 percent fewer greenhouse gases than a typical gas-fired multifamily structure. WinnCompanies

The spaces between buildings are more than just transitional areas—they are vital components of thoughtful urban design. When carefully designed, these interstitial spaces provide both aesthetic and functional value, contributing to the overall experience of the built environment. Strategically designed pathways and courtyards not only enhance intuitive wayfinding and provide safe, accessible routes but also serve as connectors that weave the fabric of the community together. By fostering opportunities for social interaction and creating inviting outdoor environments, these spaces elevate the quality of life for residents and strengthen the sense of community within the development.   Featured Projects: Avalon Harbor Isle, Clippership Wharf, Bower
