111 Huntington Avenue
Boston, MA
The cornerstone of CBT’s revised plan for the southern portion of Boston Properties’ Prudential Center complex, 111 Huntington Avenue bolsters the development’s identity as a world-class commercial district. The richly faceted 30-story glass office tower is a landmark that fronts onto the winter garden.
The aluminum and glass tower has a round form that symbolizes the convergence of numerous urban forces that act upon the site. Rhythmic mullions and architectural fins culminate in a distinctive radial crown, giving a renewed sense of identity to the Prudential Center complex. The tower’s chiseled form has 20 corners that allow for a large number of perimeter offices.
On an urban level, the tower forges pedestrian connections with Boston’s Back Bay and South End neighborhoods. Combining open space with circulation, a glass-enclosed interior linear winter garden creates a grand entrance to the Prudential complex, provides access to the tower’s lobby, and integrates a new connection to the subway station below. Flooded with natural light, the retail-lined winter garden is articulated with integrated seating, serving as vantage points from which to enjoy a delicate indoor bamboo forest and views of the adjacent outdoor park.
