One Dalton Four Seasons
Innovative. Remarkable. Unique. One Dalton is the acclaimed capstone of the late Henry N. Cobb’s illustrious career.
It is Boston’s tallest residential building, rising 742’ above the city with 61 floors of luxury floating above a world-renowned hotel.
The Cape Club
We were asked to create a brand identity for a proposed mixed-use golf community
on Cape Cod consisting of townhomes, single family homes, a golf club for residents as well
as a state-of-the-art golf course.
One Harbor Shore
Our work on One Harbor Shore has been about bringing Boston’s last waterfront opportunity on Fan Pier to life in a way that truly stands apart. We’ve focused on highlighting its extraordinary light, breathtaking views, and reputation for excellence, while crafting a story that embodies a confident, welcoming, and relaxed lifestyle. This project is the pinnacle of Seaport living—offering unparalleled service, iconic views, and a one-of-a-kind location—and we’re proud to have shaped its narrative as the final chapter in this iconic waterfront.
Calda Vita
Calda Vita is a luxury brand of handmade organic soaps. Adams Design Boston created the name, logo and identity, inspired by the Italian phrase meaning “warmth and life,” to express natural luxury, artisanal craft and timeless simplicity.
Liberty Wharf
Adams Design worked with the Cresset Group to develop the identity for Liberty Wharf. Building on a vision that began in 2002 with the Doulos family and Massport, we created a flexible system of signage and placemaking elements that unify the site and express its connection to the harbor.
Gaila
Gaila is a Hingham-based nonprofit that manufactures and sells the regal headdress and offers a free one to every woman who has lost her hair because of illness. The name Gaila is a play on three words: gala, gele (the Nigerian head wrap on which the Gaila is modeled) and Gail, the Milton professor of international business who designed the prototype to give as gifts to fellow cancer patients.
Legacy 4415
Adams Design partnered with Churchill Forge to create a new identity for Legacy 4415, a multifamily community in Midland, Texas. The system includes brand guidelines, messaging, and marketing materials, paired with bold contemporary artwork that reflects the property’s transformation and positions it for the future.
Appleton Mills
A legacy reborn, a creative future imagined. Once a historic textile mill, Appleton Mills has been meticulously transformed into Massachusetts’ largest affordable artist housing development. This landmark restoration breathes new life into a storied space, creating 130 loft-style residences purposefully designed for artists and creative professionals to live, work, and thrive. More than a development, Appleton Mills is a vision realized—where history meets innovation, and affordability empowers artistry.
One Exeter Plaza
Adams Design Boston rebranded this landmark office building at Exeter and Boylston Streets in Boston with a new logo and identity rooted in its architectural form.
Featherwinds
Featherwinds embodies the essence of serene countryside living, where strong community bonds and effortless life transitions prevail.
Emma Guardia
The Emma Guardia Team pairs a savvy and experienced Cambridge realtor with an energetic go-getter Millennial with now-generation skills…the perfect combination for a fresh branding approach that encompassed a print advertising and bus shelters.
Rozzie Boston
Rozzie’s brand reflects the vibrant diversity of Roslindale, with a logo that captures the community’s multifaceted spirit and welcomes all. We harmonized the branding with the building’s interior colors and the lush natural surroundings.
Larkwood
Larkwood is a breath of fresh air in the busy lives we lead today. Its natural setting and thoughtful design
combine to create a community of homes that are as beautiful as they are functional. Just as important, Larkwood lifts your
spirits and provides balance to the demands
of jobs and family.
Vela Seaport
The heavens are filled with stars and stories, like the constellation Vela and the tale of Jason and the Argonauts. Named for the sails of their ship, Vela invites you to imagine a journey of adventure through the night sky—just as the restaurant invites you to experience different cultures and cuisines from your table by the sea. Brought to life by our design agency in Boston, Vela is many things—elegant yet easy, sophisticated yet surprising.
Prism Apartments
Prism, a project by Boston design agency Adams Design, is where Cambridge’s vibrancy meets Kendall Square’s innovation—an elegant fusion of intellect, culture, and cosmopolitan energy. Like its optical namesake, Prism refracts the many facets of its surroundings into a rich, nuanced living experience. Speaking the language of its residents—biotech and business, research and teaching—it offers a refined retreat for professionals, MBAs, post-doctoral fellows, and urban families alike.
Brio Hingham
Award-winning Boston Design agency, Adams Design drew upon the iconic luxury of the grand age of Transatlantic travel, powerfully captured in Art Deco posters and created a vibrant brand identity and visual language that captures the lifestyle of Brio’s demographic.
Tootsie Roll Industries
Candy has been an integral part of Cambridge history since 1820, when Issac Lum opened a store-front confectionery shop. Over the years, Main Street became known as Confectioner’s Row, peaking in 1946 with 66 candy manufacturers in Cambridge. Today, aside from a few specialty shops, Tootsie Roll Industries is the lone survivor of the city’s very sweet past.
Strada 234
Strada 234 in Boston’s West End, boasts a rich history dating back to the early 20th century. The building originally served as the Austin Biscuit Company factory, which later became the Loose-Wiles Biscuit Company and subsequently the Sunshine Biscuit Company. Located under the elevated highway on Causeway Street, this former bakery and warehouse said “seedy neighborhood” when it needed to say “desirable residential address.”
Battery Wharf
Battery Wharf was a more typical luxury condominium and hotel project. The challenge here was a secluded, not-very-noticeable location on a previously industrial section of Boston’s North End waterfront. The location also provided the opportunity to take advantage of the North End’s European heritage and ambiance. We positioned Battery Wharf as an exclusive private enclave with European sophistication.
Grant McCarthy Gagnon
Many law firms use their partners’ initials in their logo, but few connote the strength, tradition, and ingenuity of the brand identity we created for Grant McCarthy Gagnon. The geometric lines of the ionic column were a perfect jumping off point for us to incorporate the proverbial initials into the circles and straight lines of the column form. Using a contemporary color palette and a silver foil emboss gave the mark even more distinction.
Tempo Apartments
We were charged with naming and positioning this two-building, 320-apartment complex adjoining the Cambridge Discovery Park.
We worked with developer Criterion Partners to name the project, then create a logo, identity , print brochure, and signage for it. The name and logo were inspired by the varying rhythms of life: high professional energy balanced by a home atmosphere…where one can relax and unwind.
