With a primary goal of revitalizing Boston’s South End neighborhood, Elkus Manfredi Architects created a design aesthetic that focuses on returning the area to a lively, dynamic mixed-use community. Drawing inspiration from former building owner–the Boston Herald–Ink Block has become a pillar in Boston’s revitalization project with classic Bostonian motifs and contemporary, edgy design features.

With simple, subtle color notes, Osprey Software wanted a wood with a natural color and enhanced grain. reSAWN's REED features antique reclaimed hemlock that is wire brushed to accentuate the unique grain pattern of hemlock.

Specified for ceiling cladding and wall cladding, REED can be found in reSAWN's enCORE collection. The enCORE collection is made up entirely of different reclaimed wood species that include heart pine, oak, barn siding, chestnut, hemlock, and hickory. With a design aesthetic that includes dark and light grey colors, the natural coloring of the REED feature wall truly stands out. Hemlock's unique grain pattern becomes very clear with the overhead, track lighting.
