East Cambridge Savings Bank - Cambridge, MA

Our landscape at the new branch of the East Cambridge Savings Bank includes entry court gardens, perimeter plantings, street tree plantings and a roof top garden. The scheme's focal point is a "parterre-like" entrance garden, composed with decorative bluestone gravel paths and Paperbark Maples. The Maples are under-planted with Pachysandra and Tulips. The street tree planting of Honey Locusts provides a shady border along the sidewalks. Redbuds placed near the building's walls will grow in a horizontally branching form, providing a counterpoint to the verticals of the architecture. A simple border of evergreen junipers complete the planting at the foot of the building.
