Portfolio: Exterior View 1

This image starts to bring the building to life..... first, I am pleased with the juxtaposition of the new (apple) and the old (tradional Boston streetscape).... apples claim to fame is not sticking with the norm.... it is modern and minimalist and respected as such..... that being said, I feel that this building form, while it injects a less traditional feel into the local fabric, is not disrespectful to the area and fits comfortably on the site... some other key elements are the cantilever of the main product floor which begins to define a space below it as neither/both interior and/or exterior, as well as the ability for the pedestrians to view the cascading greenroofs from the street level which begins to build interest from afar extending the architectural experience well beyond the exterior walls....
