This project transformed a ±2,894-square-foot space at 1080 Boylston Street into Don't Tell Aunty, a high-energy Back Bay destination with a full bar, open kitchen and seasonal patio. Working with interior designers Two Point Zero, we began in the fall of 2023 and delivered the permit set in February 2024.

Then the rules changed. A Massachusetts plumbing code update shifted restroom requirements, and at the owner's target of 180 seats, the fixture count no longer worked.
