“The Norwood location was great, but the interior needed to be fully gutted. We selected Maugel Architects based on our experience working together on the Salem, NH property,” said Steven Sands, president of the CCS Companies. “I‘ve enjoyed renovating many buildings over the course of my career, but the Norwood project exceeded all expectations like none other and at an overall lower cost.”
Maugel designed a new lobby featuring floor-to-ceiling glass walls and a glass and stainless steel stair rail that maximizes light into the space. With a nod to sustainability, interior window frames and floor-to-ceiling glass from CCS’ previous location in Newton were incorporated into the design. The original façade had a tired entry that blended into the existing brick and ribbon window line. To give the entry a greater presence, Maugel designed a new clear anodized aluminum curtain wall highlighting the new interior stair and main entrance. The exterior stairs and ramp were replaced and refreshed with a new aluminum railing system.
