An address that
grows on you.
Eight homes, no two alike — each one shaped by light, nature, and the patient craft of those who build to last.
Set on a quiet, tree-lined street in Cambridge's Observatory Hill — minutes from Harvard and Porter Squares — Ivy No. 11 was conceived as a counterpoint to the ordinary. Where most developments repeat a single plan, Studio47 Architects drew eight distinct homes, composed so the building reads as one calm gesture from the street and unfolds into something more particular within. The name says the rest: an address designed to grow on you.
Inside, The Collective layered honest materials with restraint — white oak floors, marble at the counters and baths, and a quiet mix of matte black and brushed brass set against two-tone cabinetry and stacked ceramic tile. Outside, James Hardie fiber-cement in a pearl-and-white palette sits beneath a gray architectural roof, with warm teak decks and black cable railings opening the upper homes to light and air.
One building set back behind planting, with bicycle storage and service kept to the rear — and a fenced, gated perimeter the whole way round.

Best with sound. Animation and renderings are illustrative of design intent.
A doorstep
worth keeping.
Set in Cambridge's Neighborhood Nine, Ivy No. 11 sits on a quiet, tree-lined street between Harvard Square, Porter Square, and Fresh Pond. The Boudreau library is four minutes on foot, Danehy Park six, and Concord Avenue's bakeries and kitchens are closer still — with Huron Village a ten-minute walk beyond.
The Red Line at Porter and Harvard is five minutes by car, Davis Square eight, and Route 2, the Mass Pike, and I-93 put downtown Boston and Logan both within twenty.
