The 10 Farnsworth building is the epitome of the best in contemporary architecture beautifully situated among Boston's historic Fort Point Channel District.

Located in the lively Seaport/Fort Point neighborhood, this six-story boutique residential condominium development diplomatically balances the district's industrial past with ultra-luxury life today. CBT Architects developed the building in 2017-2018, occupying the site of an aging parking lot, the byproduct of growing densification and redevelopment of the area.

The building is a widely praised example of contextual modernism that has received a number of design awards, including a Preservation Achievement Award from the Boston Preservation Alliance. The task was to design a new building that would be clearly modern while respecting the consistent, 19th-century warehouse appearance of the streetscape. The response was a glass façade and muted, charcoal-grey materiality, which allows the rich colors of the adjacent historic brick buildings to become the focal point. Horizontal metal members with industrial overtones quietly respond to the cornice lines and structural rhythm of its neighbors, creating visual conversation between the old and new.

10 Farnsworth includes just nine ultra-luxury condominium homes: eight expansive loft-style flats and one stunning penthouse. Each home includes dramatic, open floor plans with direct elevator entry and floor-to-ceiling windows that allow ample light and city views. Interiors are marked by the finest in craftsmanship and materials, with wide-plank European oak flooring, gas fireplaces, and highly personalized Smart Home technology for operating media, lighting, and climate.

The gourmet kitchens of the chef include Carrara marble countertops, Arclinea custom Italian cabinetry, and a suite of high-end appliances from Gaggenau, Sub-Zero, and Wolf. Primary suites include expansive wardrobes and spa-inspired en-suite bathrooms with sculptural freestanding tubs and walk-in showers.

Responding to a paramount issue of waterfront resilience, the structure features aggressive flood-proofing features at grade, demonstrating dedication to climate resilience. Resident services include a parking garage on site with a computerized system, a high-tech biometric security system, and a lavish common roof deck. This beautifully landscaped roof terrace provides occupants with an outdoor kitchen, dining, and living area to enjoy breathtaking views of the Boston skyline and harbor, establishing 10 Farnsworth as a serene and sophisticated retreat.
