The Chestnut Hill Hotel and Market is a multidimensional project that incorporates a wide range of our architecture, landscape, and branding work. 

For this project, our updates to the Hotel’s facade honor the original look of the landmark building, while a few modern touches infuse it with an elegant urban-farmhouse industrial feel. Our most exciting addition to the site, the Fareway, is a vibrant outdoor walkway that runs between the Chestnut Hill Hotel and the Market  behind it. This popular neighborhood hangout features colorful and comfortable outdoor seating, water features, and a community fire pit. Surrounding restaurants also offer opportunities for outdoor dining along the Fareway, and make it a lively community area that brings to life a once underutilized space.  

The Market itself features an exciting variety of vendors in one convenient location. Our branding and interior design work ensure a seamless shopping experience, while the custom signage and graphics we designed for each vendor show off their unique brands. In bringing together the Chestnut Hill Hotel and Market, this project offers an exciting mix of programs, modern landscaping, and historic architecture that has become a favorite destination for visitors and locals alike.

Working with Morrissey Design + M Architects has always been an absolute pleasure. James and his team are right on point, expedient and always prepared to listen. Their design work has been a hallmark of our execution in bringing to life what the team has provided. In my residential real estate practice, Morrissey Design has successfully worked with many of my clients. I consider James and his team to be a vital part of my design arsenal.

James has a true pulse on the community at large. He always works his projects as if he has a stake in its success and listens to our true intentions for what is created, not just how.
Chef Al Paris, Paris Bistro
When working with James and his team at M ARCHITECTS, and MORRISSEY has been a pure on-going pleasure. He is a true visionary. I asked for a modern country feel for my Japanese-themed restaurant space and he has hit a home run with his design and layout. James understands the importance of building a relationship with my investors and me to ensure complete satisfaction with clear communication.
