Florist Shop

Fern is a florist shop in downtown Boston on Massachusetts Avenue, across from the Christian Science Church campus and adjacent to Symphony Hall. The storefront is now a bright spot in an otherwise-grim 1970s-era commercial storefront arcade, designed as a counterpoint to the adjacent concrete and bronzed aluminum storefronts, conceived of like a conservatory.

The storefront’s piers support trellis work reminiscent of garden structures. The broad mahogany and glass open up and fold inward upon themselves, opening the shop to passersby and bringing the outside in. The shop provides a welcome to pedestrians, an oasis.
