Jaunty high-rise housing that breaks the mold…in progress. Rather than a typical tower extrusion, the Transbay Block 2 design assembles three distinct volumes to express what’s happening within. Glazed common areas (including day-lit corridors and a double-height community room), separate each piece from the others. Sprinkled across the height of the building, these spaces are key to adapting the high-rise format to the needs of families. Transbay Block 2E affordable family housing. @mercyhousing @swinerton1888 @dciengineers @meyersplusengineers @y.a.studio @team4ea @tucci_lighting #affordablehousing #urbanarchitecture #sanfranciscomodern #urbanismo #urbanism #modernarchitecture #highrisehousing #archıtecturelovers #urbandesign #housingforall #designinspo
A small but subtle project: lobby/ entry refresh at our office building, a 1926 concrete industrial behemoth in the Mission District. Actually there was no lobby or entry space to speak of, just a fire stair with a grim hall and door at the base. We liberated space in adjacent garage and service areas, and used paint and lighting to create a sense of arrival and procession. Grace notes include a felt blade ceiling for acoustics, a super graphic address, an exposed concrete floor (stripped of multiple linoleum layers), and a large photo mural of the Mission. Important to keep the industrial vibe. Cheap and cheery! #interiors #lobbydesign #industrialarchitecture #color #lightingdesign #interiorarchitecture #architecturelovers
