Design Development is the phase most multifamily developers under-resource. Schematic design has produced a massing and a unit mix that looks viable on paper. Construction documents feel like the “real work.” DD sits in between, and that is exactly where the economics of the building are either protected or quietly eroded. Rendering by Design Resource […]

Multi-family doesn't have to feel like multi-family.

At DRT, we design apartment and condo buildings throughout the Greater Boston area with one belief at the center: just because you're sharing a building doesn't mean your home should feel shared. A unit on the third floor of a six-unit building should feel as considered, as livable, and as much like yours as a single-family house down the street.

That belief shows up in the details. A real entry — somewhere to hang a coat, drop a bag, take off your shoes — instead of walking straight into the living room. Closets that are actually planned, not whatever space is left over. A laundry room with counter space to fold and a utility sink to handle the stains that come with everyday life. Ceiling heights pushed above the minimum because a few extra inches changes how a room feels to live in. And outdoor space — a balcony, a terrace, a rooftop deck — because when it's finally nice out in Boston, you should get to be outside.

This is the thinking behind every multi-family project we design, whether it's a small infill building in Dorchester or a larger development elsewhere in Greater Boston. Good multi-family design isn't about fitting more units into a footprint. It's about making sure every single one of those units feels like home.

The outside was just the beginning. Step inside this Wellesley Colonial — where a classic New England exterior opens up into something unexpected: walls of steel-framed glass framing a canopy of oaks, a kitchen where walnut and stone do the talking, bedrooms that feel quiet before you even settle in, and bathrooms with enough personality to remember. New construction, but nothing about it feels off the shelf.

Red brick, slate roof, hydrangeas in bloom — this is what a Wellesley summer afternoon looks like from the front lawn. Our team designed this classic New England Colonial from the ground up on Worcester Street, and every detail was shaped around the idea that a home should feel like it belongs — to its neighborhood, its landscape, and the family who lives there. The deep-toned shutters, copper gutters, and stone-edged garden beds aren't decoration; they're the character.

Introducing The Albion at Linden Square — thoughtfully designed multifamily living in the heart of Wellesley.

Our team focused on creating a community that feels welcoming at every scale — from the carefully detailed exterior architecture to the light-filled residences and thoughtfully integrated shared spaces. The result is a multifamily development that feels connected to the character of Wellesley while offering a modern living experience for today’s residents.

Now built and on the market, The Albion reflects DRT’s approach to designing housing that is both functional and enduring.

Designed to feel like a true retreat within the home, this primary suite pairs soft natural light, layered textures, and clean contemporary detailing to create a space that feels calm, comfortable, and elevated. From the oversized windows and sitting area to the spa-inspired bath, every element was thoughtfully considered to bring everyday luxury into this new East Boston multifamily residence.

We believe the most successful homes are the ones that feel both beautiful and livable — spaces that support the way people actually unwind, recharge, and live day to day.

A kitchen that feels as calm as it looks.

Soft natural light, warm wood tones, and clean white cabinetry come together to create a space that’s equal parts functional and inviting. The subtle texture in the backsplash and the warmth of the woven stools add just enough character—without overwhelming the simplicity of the design.

It’s the kind of kitchen that works for everyday living, but still feels elevated when you’re hosting.

Design that feels effortless is never by accident—it’s all in the details.
