Drawing in the third dimension: what does it mean? What does it look like? Today we’ve rounded up some of our 3D renderings. Drawing in the third dimension is an important component of how we represent our work and our ideas to our clients and colleagues. Many of these renderings we’ve shared today are working drafts. What kind of 3D work are you doing?

This Veterans Day, we’re proud to celebrate the recent opening of the Massachusetts Veterans Home at Holyoke.
First envisioned in 2020, the project reimagines and expands upon the original 1949 facility, creating a new home for Massachusetts Veterans that places dignity, community, and high-quality care at its center.
The new 234-bed facility is part of a broader vision for the campus, which also includes plans for an Adult Day Health Care Center, a memorial garden honoring Veterans lost during the COVID-19 pandemic, and a framework for future permanent supportive housing to respond to the evolving needs of Veterans.
Set prominently atop Cherry Hill in Holyoke, the facility occupies an iconic location and carries forward an important mission: to provide, with honor and dignity, the highest quality of personal health care services to Massachusetts Veterans. “It’s so much more than a beautiful building,” Governor Maura Healey said in an interview Friday.
Perhaps the greatest measure of its success comes from the residents themselves. Elizabeth Brewer, a 97-year-old Army veteran and one of six women living at the facility, shared her first impressions: “It’s the best place anywhere around for nursing care. It’s beautiful, it’s spacious, and it’s gorgeous.”
