YAF Construction Tour: 616 Battery St.
Join the Young Architects Forum for a construction tour of 616 Battery St.
In collaboration with Holland Partner Group, Weber Thompson is designing this mixed-use project at the site of the former Elephant Car Wash in the Denny Triangle. The tower’s design is inspired by the folding grids and urban fabric that defines the area, capturing that geometry in the massing, skin and landscaping to create a cohesive contemporary design that explores lighting and reflectivity as another material in its palette.
The design includes a vibrant pedestrian experience with generous seating that will draw pedestrians into an open space sheltered with planting and shaded by new and existing trees. Raised planters will allow for street trees and a green edge at the curb while curves in the landscape allow for a seamless feel.
