PCA Design
About
PCA is a Cambridge architecture, interior design and planning firm and one of the larger design practices in Greater Boston. It works on residential, mixed-use, retail, hospitality, restaurant and adaptive reuse projects, aiming to create places where people can live their best lives. The firm describes its approach as humanist and built on creative partnerships with clients, blending business insight with problem-solving so that projects succeed in the market and add lasting value to their neighborhoods.
The firm has grown from a four-person office into a team of more than 70, large enough to commit substantial resources while keeping principals involved in every project. Its portfolio includes Arsenal Yards in Watertown, Saltie Girl in the Back Bay, the Mildred C. Hailey Apartments and The Revolution Hotel, which converted a historic YWCA dormitory into a boutique hotel with a restaurant, coworking space and art installations, including a 65-foot mural by Tristan Eaton.
