The Living Green Wall
Cambridge, MA – Fuse Cambridge, a 244-unit luxury apartment community located adjacent to the Alewife Brook Reservation in Cambridge, recently completed the installation of its Living Green Wall – a diverse collection of wall-mounted plants that connects the building’s lobby with its ample amenity spaces. Designed and maintained by Cityscapes, the community’s newest feature complements its health-conscious environment, which offers direct access to the 120-acre Alewife Brook Reservation, numerous walking/biking trails, and an abundance of natural light.
In addition to serving as a visually appealing focal point at Fuse Cambridge, the Living Green Wall provides numerous health benefits, including natural air filtration, sound insulation, stress reduction, and thermal regulation. Notably, the Living Green Wall complements Fuse Cambridge’s LEED Silver Certification, a testament to the community’s focus on the health of its residents and a sustainable environment.
Developed by Hines and managed by The Bozzuto Group, Fuse Cambridge offers a variety of floor plans including studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartment homes ranging from 506sf to 1,383sf.
