1150 Clay
The first new residential high-rise in Oakland’s City Center, 1150 Clay creates a mixed-use neighborhood anchor with 288 new homes, neighborhood serving retail and a new civic plaza. We re-worked an existing entitled design from the inside out, adding and redesigning all the dwelling units, to make the project pencil. Outside, we re-conceived the skin of the building as a unitized pre-cast concrete system with integrated curtain-wall elements to meet a tight budget yet still provide the visual richness desired by the owners and city stakeholders.
Kennerly Architecture & Planning executed the interior design and architecture, including units, fitness and resident amenity areas, fully fitted-out with furnishings, finishes, equipment and art. HKS was the Architect of Record for permitting.
