KMDG teamed with Handel Architects on a mixed-use Life Science Center in Boston’s Seaport, located at the seam between the emerging residential and mixed-use South Boston Waterfront area and the industrial Raymond L. Flynn Marine Park (RLFMP).
The site design of the 4-acre parcel looks to draw from the area’s light-industrial and seaport history in establishing a new vision for landscape open space in the seaport. Site challenges include its location over the top of the Ted Williams Tunnel which precludes building construction over 2 floors, leading to the development of this portion of the site entirely as a landscape. As the gateway linking the Seaport and RLFMP, landscape design is at the forefront of obtaining permitting approval from a multi-agency jurisdiction including Boston Planning & Design Authority, Massachusetts Port Authority, and Massachusetts Department of Transportation.
