NEMA Boston features custom-curated artworks and design elements to reflect Boston’s and the Seaport's past and present.
The Boston apartment building’s modern façade—designed with ledger stone, bronze paneling, and glass—creates a neighborhood beacon in the historic and ever-evolving Seaport district. The façade's distinctive slant, inspired by the bow of a ship, gently nods to the district’s nautical history.
In sync with the Seaport's new status as Boston's innovation hub, a 70-foot LED art wall creates a vivid backdrop to NEMA's arrival experience, with revolving nature scenes from Boston’s environs.
The Lobby honors Boston's famous Channel, the 1980s hot spot for live music located nearby in the Seaport. An art wall features custom records that name the most important acts who played at The Channel, highlighting this dynamic decade in Boston’s music scene. Eventually, The Channel turned into a dance club where popular Boston DJs spun records, and, of course, the NEMA Lobby features a DJ turntable driving the music system.
A massive steel beam "V," which, along with a curved steel I-beam and rough-hewn granite sculpture by Randy Doering, pay homage to Boston’s role in laying the groundwork for industrializing the Northeast. Artist Tom Burr’s "Blanket" work alludes to the Seaport’s status as a thriving textile shipping hub of the early 20th century.
Adjacent to the Lobby is the Garden, an intimate resident micro-park with natural herbs and a modern fire feature. The view into the Garden can be enjoyed from the Lobby through the floor-to-ceiling glass, blending the lines between outdoor nature and interior comfort.
