The Sky’s the Limit! For years, driving on the Mass Pike on the way in to Boston, we’d see cranes stretching up to the sky by the Christian Science Plaza and Prudential Building; they had become part of the skyline. While not exactly picturesque, those cranes held promise and symbolized that an exciting moment in Boston construction and a change to the city’s architectural fabric was under way. Now, when you drive in, those cranes are no longer there (they’ve moved on to another part of the city), but a new icon is: One Dalton, The Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences. This landmark building, located in the heart of Back Bay and designed by renowned architect Henry N. Cobb, is the third tallest in Boston, but may well be tops for its sophistication and cutting-edge cylindrical form. After all of those years of admiring this structure from the outside, I was invited in to One Dalton for a private party celebrating the extraordinary work of interior design firm Carter & Company and the other tradespeople who crafted the incredible unit that graces our cover for one of One Dalton’s newest residents (see our Town & Country feature on page 13). It was a privilege to meet the gracious and down-to-earth couple who call One Dalton home, raise a glass in that richly appointed setting and, of course, take in those stunning views from the inside. That evening I felt incredibly grateful, as I do every time a homeowner or business opens their doors to the staff here at BDG and <strong>PRELUDE</strong>, to allow us to share exceptional projects with our readers. It is in this spirit that we bring you a wealth of settings and stories that you, too, can inhabit on the following pages. And, to really feel like you are there, check out Boston Design Guide’s YouTube channel, which features videos on projects in a variety of forms and phases. There you’ll find a recent video with Michael Carter set at his own New Hampshire lodge, again for our Town & Country feature, that transports you to his horse-and-buggy era retreat and beautiful grounds. Enjoy!

BEFORE Daylight is powerful. It redesigns the look and feel of our home every hour of the day. It balances our Circadian rhythm, improves our general health and well-being, decreases our dependency on electricity, and gives functionality back to our space. We often ask, “Why skylights,” but with endless reasons why you should install a skylight the question becomes more, “Why not skylights?” For more information, explore the complete Velux line of Skylights, Roof Windows and Light Tunnels at www.veluxusa.com or contact your local authorized dealer: 800-598-5400 | 800-9-HARVEY | www.harveybp.com Find a contractor to install your Velux skylight at www.harveybp.com/prozone
