The site, located in Brookline Village, Cambridge, MA, borders two major streets that are skewed to each other in plan and located on different levels in section. A bank building with a roof oculus sits adjacent to the site.
The design concept is one of balance – three side ‘columns’ are in tension, in fact cables, preventing the hovering volume from falling over the bank building.
