Collaboration with Mark Philip
Collaboration with Mark Philip South Boston is rapidly emerging as the hub of Boston – on its west is Downtown Boston bustling with various business activities, and on its east is the great port that at the epicenter of global trade. Massport is the largest landowner in South Boston. It faces the imperative of optimizing its assets to bring social and economic benefits to the area, given its dual roles as a public authority and a business owner. The design considers the perspectives of both the South Boston community and Massport. It aims to build connectivity and shape the South Boston waterfront to be a global destination, continuing the established “Massport” Model. The design is divided into three phases, building a green spine that connects South Boston with the Seaport waterfront by extending the Thomas J. Butler Memorial Park to link with Fort Independence and D Street. An estimated 6M sqft of public green land will be built and accessible to the community, a newly built 2.9 miles coastal line will be restored with a soft edge and a resiliency strategy for floods.
$1.7B, with each phase rolled out over a four-year period. Leveraging Massport’s strong balance sheet and access to capital, this plan offers Massport control over refinancing and capital return. It will stimulate economic development and cultivate a more dynamic and resilient community in South Boston.

Qianhai Garden Neighborood Renovation Plan - Vertical & Mechanical Parking Research & Design
Neighborhood Revitalizing framework & Vertical Parking Studies
The Qianhai Garden Renovation is an experimental project located in Shenzhen, originally developed in the 1980s. At the time of its construction, the rapid increase in China's vehicle ownership was not taken into consideration, resulting in the community's public spaces being overwhelmed by parking needs. This project innovatively integrates multifunctional, vertical
solutions within the community, seamlessly blending with the existing architecture. By addressing the emerging parking demands, it also expands the community's usable activity spaces.
