The Village Works Jamaica Plain

An extensive interior and exterior renovation transformed a 15,000 -square-foot building on Jamaica Plain’s historic Centre Street to accommodate contemporary work, retail, and residential uses.

The Village Works JP coworking space anchors one wing of the U-shaped building, offering private offices, shared workspaces, meeting rooms, and communal areas. Our work in the opposite wing included space planning for a hair salon and additional private offices at the rear. A new courtyard covered with translucent Kalwall panels connects the two wings, creating a light-filled space for outdoor coworking and salon activites during the day and restaurant seating in the evening.

The design emphasizes adaptive reuse, sustainability, and well-being, Original architectural details were exposed, existing materials repurposed, and new and vintage furnishings incorporated throughout. The restored Centre Street facade reinforces the building’s presence in the neighborhood streetscape.

In 2026, The Village Works Jamaica Plain became the first WELL Coworking Rated space in the United States.
