Toscana Forno has just unveiled their newly renovated restaurant in Peabody

Toscana Forno has recently unveiled their newly renovated restaurant and it is giving us all the cozy and inviting vibes!

Harrison Mulhern Architects was fortunate to have been part of this project for Toscana Forno, a pizza focused Italian eatery, bar, and private event space located at Lynnfield Street, Peabody. This renovation was a collaboration between the Toscana ownership group, Assembly Design Studio, a restaurant imaging group, and HMA.

Let’s dive deep into the main design details.

The centerpiece of the new layout is the tile faced pizza oven imported from Italy. This state of the art machine features high temperature heating elements and a rotating cooking surface delivering even heat throughout the oven.

Wooden flooring was retained as it has a lot of character. It wasn’t replaced as it fits perfectly with the restaurant’s brand - a cozy and fiery restaurant that feels like home.

All of the existing booths were replaced with deep red banquets to offer just the right pop of color to brighten up the space. Black dining chairs and bar stools were selected to compliment the black bar counter.

The most noticeable design element that was updated was the ceiling. The existing beams were re-clad with wood, creating a nice play of ceiling levels matching the hardwood flooring.

Lastly, stone cladding was also added around the restaurant entrance. The reception desk and dessert display cabinet were reoriented to be the first item a customer sees once entering the restaurant.

See below the photos before and after the renovation.

So what are you waiting for? Come on in and experience the magic of Toscana Forno's newly renovated restaurant. We promise you won't be disappointed! Visit them and enjoy a succulent meal!

Opening Of The new Farm Stand At Mahoney’s Garden Center in Winchester MA

Project update! ✨

The new Farm Stand at Mahoney’s Garden Center in Winchester, Massachusetts is now complete! Mahoney’s is a family-owned business with multiple locations offering a wide variety of garden products.  This Farm Stand features specialty foods and fresh, locally sourced produce.

We are proud that our design team was able to achieve the design goals of this project. We love the final form of this structure, it offers a refreshing take on how a farm stand should look and feel. The original structure was demolished to build a replacement on the same footprint. The new building integrates a greenhouse roof as the building focal point. The central path provides a dramatic new entry to the garden center. The natural light brought in by the greenhouse roof with full height gable ends results in an open and spacious feeling. The timber truss roof design yields a bigger volume, creating a grand look and rustic feel for the customers, inviting them in to have a look around and enjoy an enhanced shopping experience.

What Restrictions Are There On Home Renovation During The Pandemic In Massachusetts? 

What Restrictions Are There On Home Renovation During The Pandemic In Massachusetts? 

There’s nothing like extended periods of time spent indoors at home to focus the mind on all the sorts of things that you could do to make your home more functional or attractive.

When the Covid-19 pandemic first took hold across the Northeast, Massachusetts and Boston, in particular, were hard hit. Millions of people were affected by restrictions on movement, social distancing, stay at home orders and a focus on personal cleanliness. April and May saw many state residents spending far longer cooped up at home than normal. While most people saw this period as a necessary but frustrating experience it did mean plenty of time to think about possibilities for home renovation.

Big Colors

Our client for this new house in rural Vermont wanted big colors on their modest home. They chose a grey painted vertical siding for the garage element, yellow painted novelty siding for the body, corrugated steel siding for the rear, and red framed Pella windows. The big roof overhang on the south side will shelter the outdoor living areas. With the exterior complete, the couple will tackle most of the interior finish work themselves.
