Federal St. Lobby

Foxrock Properties reimagined the lobby at 176 Federal Street to reflect local storytelling and create a vibrant experience for tenants. The design balances the building’s historic charm with modern finishes and a bold, expressive palette.

Known as a downtown “jewel box,” 176 Federal is famous for its parakeets - longtime residents who inspired a playful concept blending classical details with garden-inspired colors and patterns.

The transformed space feels airy and inviting, featuring marble floors, pilasters, a plush banquette, and pendant lights reminiscent of perched birds. The parakeets now have a larger, more visible home, set against a wood-clad elevator wall, mural, and custom rug that bring a sense of calm and delight.

Fusion’s design shows how even a small lobby can become a joyful oasis through thoughtful use of color, texture, and story. It was great to collaborate to transform this lobby space in collaboration with JDL.

The details shine in this space. Everything from the bird cage railings to the custom rug hand-made in Nepal, no detail was left overlooked.
