A new “front yard” along the historic Fenway is the heart of 401 Park, the adaptive reuse of a 1920’s Sears distribution center reimagined as a creative campus and anchoring a revitalized urban village. Our activating site design reinforces the architectural program of a bustling ground-floor food hall below creative office tenant spaces, offering a new beer-garden kiosk and seasonal ice rink. Care in grading design and the placement of surface elements creates fresh vistas to the Fens and re-establishes contours providing improved access and connections through the project site.  A museum-quality work of public art, including a playful water feature, embodies the client’s and designers’ ambitious goals, as does the careful shaping of routes to ease pedestrian flow through the site and beyond, weaving the property into its environs. Rigorously practical yet aesthetically pleasing, our landscape design sets high standards for commercial real estate development that exceeds stipulated public amenities to exemplify a generous stance vis-à-vis the surrounding community.
