Utile worked with The Possible Zone (TPZ) to transform a 36,000 SF building into an innovative hub designed for entrepreneurship and work-based learning. This transformation supports TPZ’s mission to equip Boston high school students with social-emotional learning, technical skills, professional identities, and essential networks for future success.
The Shoreland Overlook Residence utilizes the siting of a prior home, minimizing the impact on the forested site and nearby wetlands. No trees were removed to create a view, maintaining root systems for erosion control.

Utile completed Autodesk Boston’s new workspace in the Innovation & Design Building in South Boston. The project organizes work space around a signature “Glowing Box” wrapped in a 34-color gradient that houses meeting and conference spaces.
The Oaks Residence remains mysterious and de-objectified, and the landscape takes on the reading as the primary object of the project. The interior of the house develops along an unfolding spatial sequence that constantly orients and reorients the viewer to the site as one moves through the project, knitting the site and the house together.
Nestled into a Hemlock-Beech forest, the Lakeside Camping transforms an existing summer retreat into a three generation family compound. The camp’s quiet repose on the periphery of existing structures discreetly reorders the site, strengthening relational hierarchies and celebrating the landscape.
The Somerville House Renovation started with a dark, 3 story single family home with great potential. The design intent was to maintain the original character of the 1860’s façade on the street, and yet open to the small urban garden and southern light offered by the back façade.
