200 Berkeley Street Streetscape Improvements

Weston & Sampson worked with ownership, local architects, and city agencies to design a new streetscape focused on pedestrian accessibility improvements and new gathering areas for a downtown Boston office building.

Our team created concept designs from our on-site analysis of how visitors enter and exit the building; this analysis helped inform the location for new seating and paving. Our paving designs help visitors navigate to the main building entrance and create a visual sense of arrival. The addition of raised granite planters incorporates seating and greenery, offering a place for respite. Trees provide a human scale along the exterior of the building and low-maintenance perennial and shrub plantings provide color and texture.

Our team worked with the Boston Disabilities Commission to provide improved ADA accessibility along the building frontage, including the addition of a constant 8-foot-wide concrete sidewalk and new accessible curbs ramps at each intersection.
