DePaoli Mosaic Company Canton, MA


Winthrop Center is a new skyscraper that combines luxury condominiums with the world’s largest Passive House-certified office building. The Connector, the center’s public gathering space, features a luminous interior where terrazzo materials and craftsmanship convey a sense of permanence while offering a refined solution for multifunctional, high-traffic use. A triangular floor pattern integrates nearly 2.5 miles of zinc double divider strips, precisely mitered to form complex intersections. Defining the installation are sculptural precast cement terrazzo benches, detailed with wood accents, integrated lighting, and electrical access panels. Seating steps clad in wood panels and finished with stainless-steel abrasive strips add quiet drama and restrained warmth.
