Located within Boston’s Back Bay, Monos sits among the historic brownstones, tree-lined streets, and refined façades that define the neighbourhood’s character. Newbury Street provides the perfect stage for Monos’ vision – a store inspired by the architectural legacy of Peabody & Stearns, whose disciplined use of form and materials shaped Back Bay’s streetscape and New England’s coastline.
The store’s materiality nods to Shingle Style architecture through a modern lens, drawing on the smooth wood siding and understated elegance of Massachusetts’ maritime homes. At the centre, an asymmetric walnut table anchors the space, while curved, sand-coloured walls wrap around retail zones, creating an intimate and calming atmosphere.
Monos Newbury connects Boston’s heritage with contemporary design through a spatial journey: a broad, welcoming entry that gives way to a winding, shoreline-like passage where shifting textures and thoughtful details spark discovery at every turn.
