PERSPECTIVES
More development will bring a new hotel to South Boston, and a rooftop bar will come along with it. A Cambria Hotel run by Meyer Jabara Hotels (the same company that runs Copley Square’s Courtyard by Marriott) will arrive early in 2019, with construction starting this coming spring.
Situated near the Boston Convention & Exposition Center, the hotel at 6 West Broadway will be part of a new condo complex with 159 rooms, a gym, and a rooftop bar. The bar will feature designs from RODE Architects, including stone flooring, projection art, and floor-to-ceiling windows between the indoor and outdoor space. Specifics about the rooftop bar’s food and drink menus are not yet available beyond a stated aim to tap into local resources, including chefs and ingredients. There will also be a ground level restaurant and lounge.

The Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) has officially moved into its new organizational headquarters at 10 City Square in Boston’s historic Charlestown neighborhood, positioning the outdoor recreation and conservation nonprofit to better support its staff, cultivate expanded community connections, and achieve its long-term growth and mission objectives.
Interior building renovations to AMC’s space, overseen by RODE Architects, were geared toward completely updating the floor layout to optimize natural light quality, celebrate the “bones” of the building, and highlight the character of the original construction by exposing brick walls and emphasizing details such as the southern yellow pine wood structure.

RODE Architects is leading the design for The Sycamore team's new restaurant Buttonwood With Chef Francisco Millan, opening Fall 2017. The space, located in Newton Highlands, is the perfect size for a neighborhood tavern. The restaurant will have a larger bar area, and a proportionally larger beer selection and bar menu—including a “kick-ass burger,”
While Buttonwood is a sister restaurant to Sycamore—the name is another word for the same tree—it will fill another niche in Newton.
