Cambridge Center Garage Roof Garden in Kendal Square

Taken directly from the web:

Project Code: PPI-10-06

Architect/Artist: Martha Schwartz, Peter Walker
Description: A post-modern landscape transforms the top of a parking garage into a one-acre public park. Weight restrictions influenced the design of a series of sculptural trellises and box planters that form a maze pattern on the roof. Crushed white stone covers the surface, and inlaid stepping stones provide a path for walking.

A large office building connects to the parking garage, giving building occupants access to the roof-top garden.
