Located on a site at risk from sea level rise in a neighborhood in need of housing, our design uses an elevated boardwalk over restored marsh and park space to enrich and protect residents of the Bunker Hill neighborhood. With a central theme of Living with Water, each area of the design offers a way for residents and visitors to connect to the water; from exploring the salt marsh, to swimming and kayaking; all while providing habitat, filtering stormwater, and buffering against sea level rise.
