This project proposes a civic mid-rise building located in downtown Boston. The design is based on the distinct corner condition of the site where two streets intersect, shaping the waiting experience from both urban and architectural perspectives. The elevated corner façade not only reveals the interior of the theater to public but also creates a dramatic spatial experience beneath it. The atrium above the theater tapers to an oculus at the corner, creating a temporal connection between the layers of the building.
