A building
that belongs.
Ivy No. 11 is a boutique collection of eight homes, conceived as a quiet counterpoint to the ordinary.
Where most developments repeat a single plan, here every residence carries its own proportions, its own outlook, its own character.
Ivy No. 11 began with an unfashionable idea: that a building can belong to its street rather than announce itself above it. Eagle Hill Capital assembled the site on a quiet, tree-lined block in West Cambridge's Observatory Hill — minutes from Harvard and Porter Squares, Fresh Pond, and the Red Line — then commissioned Studio47 Architects for a boutique collection of just eight residences.
What followed was a study in restraint. Studio47 gave the building its calm, classical proportions; LC Construction brought a build-beyond-code rigor to every phase; and The Collective drew each interior in warm woods, stone, and quiet metals so that no two homes feel the same. The name earns itself slowly, the way ivy does — an address designed to grow on you.
From the street, Ivy No. 11 reads as a single, composed gesture. Inside, eight distinct homes unfold, each shaped by light, nature, and the patient craft of those who build to last.
