STRUCTURES
These designs represent unbuilt works, primarily of the architecture firm Morris Architects.
Morris Architects is noted for its commercial buildings and interiors. The firm generally does not design single-family residences. The designs represented here are exceptional in both their design and in the fact of their uniqueness. The first two homes were designed for a development project (Pondhurst Trust) in which Mr. Morris was a partner. After the stock market crash in October 1987, Mr. Morris and his partners concluded that the timing was not right for the development of homes selling for $2 million and above.
The bridge design was for a stream crossing at a residential subdivision in Newton MA. It was never built.
The multi-family/retail mixed-use project was once described as "the best building design ever proposed for our town" by a town planner in suburban Boston.
