The architectural footprint of Arquitectonica stretches across the globe. Now, the renowned firm is – for the first time – adding Boston to its striking portfolio.
Rising at the gateway to the flourishing Fenway neighborhood, Pierce Boston is an architectural masterpiece. With its soaring curtain wall and sleek silhouette, the 30-story shimmering residential tower speaks the language of bold modernism that has made Arquitectonica such a force on the world architectural stage.
Arquitectonica Principal Bernardo Fort-Brescia said:
“We are sincerely proud to be contributing to the profound architectural character and history of this City. The design was continually refined to increase its appearance of slenderness which contributes to its sense of stature and presence. The materials palette is simply glass and metal that modernize the building and allow legibility of the formal movement of the design and the site.”
Situated at the triangular intersection of Brookline Avenue and Boylston Street, Pierce Boston was designed to add a sense of contemporary sophistication to Boston’s storied skyline. A series of diminishing façade frames weave the building into the fabric of the neighborhood, creating a sense of place while also providing theluxuries of modern urban living.
Pierce Boston encapsulates the innovative use of geometry, pattern, and color that propelled Arquitectonica’s rise to fame. Founded in 1977, the firm received immediate critical and popular acclaim for its contribution to the renaissance of Miami’s urban landscape. Arquitectonica’s new brand of humanistic modern design has since earned hundreds of awards and expanded its global presence to 58 countries on five continents.
A look around the world reveals the impact of the firm. Celebrated projects include, for example, the Microsoft Europe Headquarters in Paris, the Wilkie D. Ferguson Federal Courthouse in Miami, the International Finance Center in Seoul, the headquarters of the Construction Bank and Agricultural Bank of China in Shanghai, the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, and the Infinity towers in San Francisco.
In Boston, Arquitectonica took the mission of creating an iconic piece of architecture to heart. The result is Pierce Boston.
