MASSING & DESIGN Building massing has been shaped in response to the height and use of the surrounding context and the desire to preserve daylight and views both on- and off-site. The removal of almost 380,000 square feet of existing above-grade garage offsets the impact of new massing on the Project Site. The 01 PROJECT SUMMARY The entire site is being re planned to make the historic Sears building and the surrounding block more permeable. The strategies are dramatic and include the demolition of all above grade parking, creation of new public space on Brookline Avenue and the relocation of the office lobbies to the street level. Redevelopment of the Project Site will bring new ground and second floor retail uses, including a major supermarket. The interior of the Landmark Center will be reconfigured to provide weather protected travel from the Fenway MBTA station to the commercial district of the Fenway neighborhood, through a destination food market anchored on the Fullerton side of the building by the new supermarket. Above the retail, new residential buildings will be constructed. The Project also includes reconfiguration of a portion of existing office and cinema space, mechanical space, residential amenity space and other accessory uses and facilities.

Building masses above the retail base are oriented perpendicular to Brookline Avenue and Park Drive to maximize light and air around the proposed development. Building height decreases from south to north, stepping down toward the Audubon Circle neighborhood. The roof space between new and existing buildings above the retail base creates a unique opportunity for multi-level open space that is activated by both the commercial and residential uses. Materials and architectural expression carried down from the building mass to the street level accentuate the massing composition. A modern architectural expression is proposed and responds to the existing context and to the orientation of new buildings.
