Avalon at Danvers, Danvers, MA

TMD Designs was part of the design team that worked on the renovations of the historical Kirkbride building at the Avalon Danvers project in Danvers, MA. The original structure, which opened in 1878, was the main building of Danvers State Hospital. The client, AvalonBay Communities, Inc. developed the site to include luxury rental units as well as condominiums. The main design criteria for the Kirkbride was to successfully blend the old exterior shell with the new building addition which houses the clubhouse amenity spaces (resident lounge, health club, basketball court and outdoor swimming pool). As part of the marketing program, TMD partnered with a 3D rendering company to produce a perspective rendering of the Community Room interiors to assist potential condo buyers to visualize the design while the project was still under construction. The project has become a “showcase” community for both the client and the city of Danvers.
