District Wharf is a reflection of the energy and vision inspired from within Boston’s Seaport District. In an increasingly dense neighborhood, District Wharf strives to maintain a balance of natural and build infrastructure, in a rapidly expanding part of the city. By creating a combination of an extended landscape and biophilic facade, the public is given a building that uses the landscape to both protect the invaluable remaining green space while also giving a unique opportunity with an intimate connection with the daily tides.
The Fan Pier Marina is unfortunately in an extremely vulnerable situation as it pertains to climate change and the rise of sea levels moving into the future. Although it will likely be protected from daily tidal events in 50 years, Seaport District will be flooded during storm events. District Wharf uses this unique experience with water over time as an opportunity to interact with the daily tide today, and 50 years down the road.
