Looking for a community-driven, transit-oriented apartment complex that offers vibrant and engaging living? This proposed development at 201 Brighton is designed to deliver just that!

This proposed six-story building will replace an underutilized industrial site and bring 145 residential units, both affordable and market rate, along with ground-floor retail space to the heart of Allston. The building will be Passive House certified at completion and will feature a robust amenities package including a coworking space, lounge, family-oriented rec room, Uber lounge, and not one, but two, roof decks!

We’re thrilled to be working with DND Homes on this transformative project bringing some much-needed housing to the city. Stay tuned for what's next!

No better way to close out Women in Construction Week than with great food, drinks, and even better company!

DMS design, llc had an amazing time at AMCON’s WIC Week mixer, celebrating the incredible women trailblazing in our industry—whether in the field or behind their desks.

As a majority female-owned architecture and interior design firm, we love partnering with like-minded organizations like AMCON. Thank you for having us, and cheers to all the powerful women shaping our industry!

We were excited to share back in December that DMS design, llc received an Honorable Mention for BQE Software’s Operational Efficiency Award — and now the official award has arrived!

It’s one thing to celebrate the recognition, but holding the physical award makes it even more meaningful.

A huge congratulations (again!) to our Controller, Ryan Foley, whose leadership, attention to detail, and expertise with BQE CORE continue to strengthen the foundation of our firm every day.

Thank you BQE for this recognition!

Projects like these are exactly what is all about.

We’re excited to share before-and-after highlights from a recently completed occupied interior renovation of a historic factory building in Lynn, MA—an affordable housing community home to hundreds of senior residents.

Working alongside Redwood Housing, whose commitment to quality, safe, and comfortable housing closely aligns with our own, Redwood’s resident-focused approach helped guide which areas to prioritize to ensure the greatest benefit for residents.

Focused on enhancing the building’s amenity spaces, updates included refreshed lobby areas, a welcoming community room, salon, and library, along with new amenities such as a fitness center and computer lab.

One of our favorite details? The new wayfinding signage, thoughtfully designed to celebrate the building’s past lives and showcase historic photos of Lynn from the time the building was originally constructed.

Thank you to AMCON for being a great partner and helping bring this vision to life!

As architects and designers, our work is centered on creating buildings and spaces that inspire. But behind every design, meeting, and milestone is the critical—often unseen—business side that keeps a firm running successfully.

At DMS design, llc, our business team relies on BQE CORE to monitor project budgets, generate invoices, manage financials, provide analytical reporting, and plan strategically to ensure long-term stability and success.

Leading these efforts is our Controller, Ryan Foley. His dedication allows our design team to stay focused on what they do best, while the firm’s operations provide a foundation of stability and structure to work from.

Thanks to Ryan’s expertise—and his skilled use of BQE CORE—DMS received an Honorable Mention for the Operational Efficiency Award from BQE. We are honored to be recognized among a field of firms—many of them much larger than DMS—evaluated for these awards.

Ryan is truly at the CORE of DMS—keeping us organized through proven processes and best practices while improving communication internally and externally.

Thank you, Ryan, for all that you do, and thank you to BQE Software for this recognition. Congratulations to all the other honorees and winners!

Happy week!👷‍♀️✨

At DMS design, llc, we are proud to collaborate with and support the talented women who bring expertise, creativity, and innovation to every project. To all the trailblazers breaking barriers in construction—thank you for your dedication and drive!

“DMS has always hired qualified candidates, and many of those hires have been women. When asked how women perform on male-dominated construction sites, I say, ‘The same as men—with a hard hat and a login to Procore.’ The industry has come a long way in the past 20 years, and today I receive as many resumes from women as men. DMS has grown thanks to the expertise of women and their work with clients to design and manage construction of their projects. I’m proud to be part of a firm that values equality without needing a mandate to do so.” — Lorie K. Skolski, Co-Owner & Business Principal

We thank all the women that have helped DMS grow and prosper over the years, and a special thank you to our current roster of amazing women that bring 60+ years of experience to the team!

We’re more than a multifamily firm…we’re your go-to for a variety of architecture and design services! The Salem Community Life Center (CLC) stands as a testament to our versatile capabilities.

DMS design, llc is the Architect of Record for this 20,000 SF community center serving the city of Salem since 2018. Years later, the Salem CLC has enlisted our help again in expanding their community kitchen as their needs have grown. With 12 designated offices, the CLC is home to several organizations including the Council on Aging, Veteran’s Services, and the Salem Recreation Department. The center serves as the city’s voting center and features a plethora of public amenities, such as a fitness center, kitchen, library, and several multipurpose rooms capable of holding classes, public meetings, and special events.

We are thrilled about the positive impact this center has had on the city of Salem. We are committed to supporting their growth by designing to their evolving needs and optimizing their space for continued success.
