Aries Club
Boston, MA, United States
Located in the iconic Philip Johnson–designed International Place, Aries Club is part of a larger repositioning contemporizing the buildings’ shared spaces while honoring their original character. Its name, drawn from the Aries zodiac sign, references the Ram featured in the building’s logo, establishing a brand identity authentically rooted in the site.
Conceived as a private members’ club for tenants, Aries Club is designed to be both aspirational and timeless, much like a storied fashion house that evolves without losing its soul. The result is a destination defined by elegance, purpose, and belonging—equally suited for business and leisure, and appealing across generations.
The layout embraces the building’s distinctive circular geometry, transforming what might have been seen as a design constraint into a signature experience. Along the curved plan, a mix of amenities encourages exploration and discovery. The sequence includes the boardroom, multipurpose and wellness rooms, game room, golf simulator that converts into a movie room, F1 simulator, podcast studio, and culminates with the bar and terrace. Thoughtful programming and flexible design allow different areas to be used for private events while the rest of the club remains active and accessible, supporting gatherings of all scales—from intimate meetings and client events to larger social occasions.
A palette of deep reds, marble, glass, leather, velvet, and metals draws on the architectural richness of the building lobbies. Custom elements throughout the space—from archways referencing Johnson’s Palladian windows to glasswork and acoustic millwork—introduce additional layers of refinement and craftsmanship.
At the heart of the space, a ceiling mural depicting constellations—derived from a hand-drawn artwork by a member of the design team—anchors the bar. Curated works by local artists, bespoke furnishings and fixtures, and on-site concierge service complete the experience, shaping a wholly distinctive destination, unique to the building.
