The designers provided productive feedback and some…
‘Tis the Season

Team Arrowstreet at the Thompson Island 4K Trail Run
Team Arrowstreet took to the trails as part of the Thompson Island 4K Trail Run to raise money to support the amazing work that’s happening on Thompson Island with kids from the Boston Public Schools.

Generating a Culture of Women’s Leadership
We were given the opportunity to participate in a pilot program for women’s leadership in the design industry run by The Coxe Group – a consulting firm who provides business management guidance to design firms, including Arrowstreet. At first, we were skeptical of the program being ‘women only.’ We are trained as architects, not female architects, and had reservations about pointlessly…

Our tour weaved through the neighborhood, stopping at three new mixed-use…
Arrowstreet Mini-Golf 2016
This week our friends and family joined us for Arrowstreet’s annual in-studio mini-golf tournament. Every year, our talented staff designs a nine-hole course using $15 worth of materials, plus whatever additional items they can find at home or in the office. The results are always creative, inventive, and more than a little humorous. The event is one of our favorites…

For the third year in a row, Arrowstreet will be participating in Daylight Hour. This Friday, June 17, we’ll turn off the artificial lights and work with natural daylight. The global campaign is organized by Building Energy Exchange and encourages the public to be cognizant of energy use. An office will significantly increase its energy efficiency by utilizing sunlight, especially when…
Taking the 2030 Pledge

The AIA 2030 Commitment is a “national initiative that provides a consistent, national framework with simple metrics and a standardized reporting format to help firms evaluate the impact design decisions have on an individual project’s energy performance.” Arrowstreet made this…
