Plymouth Town Hall
Melding Old With New
Plymouth, MAOverview
We began this project by exploring how to connect the contemporary programs and aspirations of the building with a historic site context made up of both natural and man-made features.
An extensive site analysis led to a landscape design for the new Plymouth Town Hall that helps restore the original site hydrology and utilizes salvaged granite from the foundations of buildings demolished during construction. Durable and timeless granite paving reflecting the geologic make-up of the site is used in conjunction with a plant palette native to Plymouth. This creates a cohesive and enduring design that references the natural and cultural history of the site, while also being sustainable and low maintenance.
