BLOOM Architecture

LITTLE CHILDREN SCHOOLHOUSE - BLOOM is excited to share our recently-approved design for Little Children Schoolhouse in Brookline Village. The new 4-story structure proposes to fill in the "missing tooth" site within the otherwise continuous urban street front of predominantly late 19th century panel brick buildings. The new building will add much-needed daycare to the area, and features an open plan, generous daylight, an elevator and outdoor roof garden space.

BLOOM studied the history of the site and the surrounding context to create a building that will resonate with the urban environment, employing compositional and material strategies from the surroundings, while having a more contemporary tectonic and articulation of features, to make clear that the building is not from the same period. In this way, the historic buildings will remain center-stage and the new building will recede into the background.

Who doesn't love a good moody bathroom renovation! In this project, a new lofted main suite was created with an airy cathedral-ceilinged bathroom and his-and-hers walk-in-closets. The featured bath includes warm wood and deep-toned tile combined with bright white walls to create a bold & dynamic contrast within the space. The design is complete with a large walk-in shower, classic clawfoot tub, and ornate lighting fixture at the center of the space.
