Somerville, MA

Located on the site of an old car manufacturing plant, the design set out to evoke the industrial nature of the site. The project consists of two parts. A five storey low rise building blends into the existing fabric of the development while enclosing a large courtyard and pool for the use of the residents. A twenty storey tower with a top floor roof deck gives residents an opportunity to live in a high rise while still having the luxuries of a suburban environment.

Planeta Design group has worked with Federal Realty Investment Trust to design the community interiors including a large lobby and leasing office, a second floor amenities lounge, media room and game lounge, and a twentieth floor sky lounge.
