This complex design proposes the addition of a 24-story tower to a block in downtown Boston containing the finest intact grouping of 19th century commercial buildings in the city. The design is executed in such a way as to create a harmonious blend of the old and new. Using the 10-12 stroy existing structures as a base, the new tower is set back and crafted in the same granite and detailing. At the base, the existing alley, Quaker Lane, has been transformed into a shopping arcade.
