Harbor Way is a one-third of a mile pedestrian promenade, changing the way Seaport connects to Boston Harbor by creating a vital pedestrian link between Summer Street and the waterfront. It anchors a more connected mixed-use district with 10 acres of public open space alongside new buildings. The public realm design draws from the site’s context, inspired by New England’s coastal geology, pebble beaches, forest landscapes, and wooden boardwalks with a warm and natural color palette that gives it intimacy and a sense of place.

Designed to be public and welcoming, this new corridor encapsulates the full aspirations of the district as a beautiful and dynamic place to live, work, shop, and visit throughout the year.

Field Operations designed the public realm for Harbor Way, a WS Development project.

A phased construction site with the promenade flanked by temporary fencing, active work and equipment, and provisional surface parking lots- we were challenged to create a cohesive image set for submissions and ongoing communications, that effectively minimized the distractions of all the work in progress and missing components to the project.

Advanced and thorough scouting was imperative to identify and curate the limited views that successfully presented this vision, along with informing the careful timing of our shoot production to match the momentary sunlight making it’s way through a tight cluster of towers.
