Margulies Perruzzi completes office design for Best Doctors

Margulies Perruzzi Architects (MPA) has completed the design of new office space for Best Doctors, Inc. Founded in 1989 by two Harvard Medical School professors, Best Doctors serves more than 260 insurers, employers and health plans in 40 countries. Located on two floors at 100 Federal St., MPA provided interior design services for the 54,000 s/f project. MPA maintained much of the existing design while creating a new executive office suite with finishes that harmonize with the rest of the interiors. The offices in the executive suite feature light maple wood furniture and conference tables, with a variety of traditional boardroom seating and modern casual chairs. To further personalize the space for Best Doctors, local artist Sarah Egan painted a wall in the firm's reception area, creating a piece with tonal color and plaster paint. Relocating its corporate headquarters from One Boston Place, Best Doctors required larger space to accommodate the company's current and long-term growth. MPA previously provided programming and feasibility analyses for a series of potential new locations in Boston and conducted several test fits to compare building efficiencies in spaces of 50,000 s/f. Commodore Builders was the general contractor for the project, and RDK Engineers provided mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering. Cushman & Wakefield was the tenant broker and project manager for the project.
