The Procopio Companies came to us with a vision: develop one of Wilmington's key intersections into a versatile mixed-use site, to serve as a home for new residents and pitstop for busy commuters.

The centerpiece is The Alice, a four-story residential building with 50 units, tucked amenity spaces, and parking built into the site's natural slope. Around it are two retail buildings, including a standalone Starbucks and a flexible multi-tenant building. The overall design packs valuable programming in while creating a space both immediate and surrounding residents can enjoy.

We’re proud of how it turned out and even prouder to have partnered with , MDLA | Landscape Architecture
, H+O Structural Engineering, Kalin Associates, and on this development.

Labor Day feels like a pretty good excuse to celebrate the people who make the work happen.

We’re incredibly grateful for this crew. They work hard, care deeply, make great things, support each other and our clients every day, and of course, they’re the most fun people to hang out with.

Here’s to hard work, great people, and enjoying the people you get to do it all with. Happy Labor Day from JtA!

Special thank you to our friends Latavernettaeastie for the amazing hospitality! 🦪🍸🌅

Congratulations to AoPS Academy Cambridge on opening their new Cambridge campus, steps from Harvard Square!

Designing classrooms for learning and exploration was a genuinely special project for our team. It's heartwarming to think of all the kids who will fall in love with math and reading within these walls.

Welcome to the neighborhood AoPS!

After years of heads-down work and collaboration, progress is best appreciated when you pause and look around. 👷‍♀️

Last week, the team visited 70 Broad St. in Bridgewater, a 77-unit, three-building development with MA Development & Construction Company. The foundations are laid, framing is going up, and after a long stretch of entitlements, redesigns, and permitting, we can finally step inside and experience what this site will become.

This project is a testament to teamwork... designers, engineers, developers, and local government all leaned in to find solutions that will deliver for the community.

We're so proud to be part of it alongside Churchill James BLW Engineers, Inc. MDLA | Landscape Architecture H+O Structural Engineering and

No better way to celebrate the Fourth of July than with a BBQ in the party barn.

We’re so excited to see our clients and friends enjoying the day together in their JtA-designed party barn, featuring a full indoor kitchen, an outdoor kitchen with a wood fired pizza oven, and plenty of space to gather.

Cheers to you and yours, and Happy Fourth! 🇺🇸

There are so many details that go into creating a home, and together with , we’re carefully working through every one of them.

But during a recent site visit, we couldn’t help but pause and appreciate the view.

Tree-lined South End streets below. The Boston skyline beyond. A reminder of why our clients fell in love with this neighborhood in the first place.

Grateful to help bring their vision of a forever home to life, right where they want to be.

One of the smallest projects we’ve ever designed at JtA is also one of the most meaningful.

at .market is only about 180 square feet, but so much life happens inside spaces like this. People earn a living, sharpen their craft, share stories, build friendships, and take care of themselves and each other.

Evan and Joe have now been friends for almost a decade after we designed his first Somerville shop. And honestly, for Joe, spending time getting his haircut and beard trimmed with Evan is one of his favorite little “treat yourself” rituals.

A reminder that design is never really about square footage. It’s about the opportunities and connections a space creates for the people inside it. Grateful to do this work.

Boston Magazine just asked, "So you want to live in Jamaica Plain?" and our Victorian renovation is the answer.

The fastest way to get to the Italian coastline from East Boston is no longer Logan Airport. It’s La Tavernetta.

Congratulations to the team on their opening. We’re incredibly grateful to have been part of this project and to help bring this vision to life. It’s always special to see a space go from idea to reality, and even more special when it becomes a place that feels like an escape right in the neighborhood. The room is nothing short of magic, especially with the changing of the light at sunset and some of the best views of Boston.

Cin cin, La Tavernetta.

Grateful to our project partners:
