PARK ON PEARL STREET
SOMERVILLE, MA
2014

GV is designing a new park on Pearl Street in East Somerville. The site is the former location of the Conant-Hadley House, where famed composer Henry Hadley retreated to compose music. The design includes lush plantings that hang over a series of low terrace walls and a variety of custom ornamental iron components, including a pergola and a suite of multilevel porous benches. The park is also designed to recycle rainwater and host community art events and musical performances.
