SITE ANALYSIS

Mission Bay, San Francisco, California

Community Mission Bay

Restaurant location Mission Bay at 185 Channel Street. As you can see from the map, this restaurant is next to a channel, close to the piers. San Francisco has relatively small temperature differences in the four seasons, and it is dry and less rainy. Because three sides are surrounded by the sea, the humidity is relatively high and the wind is also strong. In general, it is a good choice of residence

Demographics

The current population of the Mission Bay community is around 8,455, of which American citizens account for 55.59%. 94.05% of the people here are White Collar, and 76.01% own their own company. Here, 11.7% of the average household income reached $180,672.00, 13.1% of the households reached 1,081, and 18.2% of the households reached 7,153. This shows that there is a huge gap in poverty in this area.

There are many tenants here, and many of the apartments here are new, with 61% built between 2000 and 2009 and after 2010. It can be said that this is a modern new community newly developed in San Francisco. 28% of the housing in the community will be used for middle, low-income and very low-income families.

All in all, this community is a mixed-income community. Different income groups will cause restaurants to increase and attract more different types of groups. Such as students, white-collar workers, blue-collar workers, natives, foreigners, and low-income people.

As a result, the restaurant's menu and design style need to be highly acceptable to attract more people. Except for the rainy winter, San Francisco's sunshine is completely abundant.The often sunny weather and cross ventilation bring plenty of light and fresh air in the restaurant. Solar photovoltaic systems can help restaurants save more resources and reduce energy consumption. Similarly, the restaurant’s greenhouse can also provide sufficient ingredients to help low-income people as much as possible.

Design Statement

Transparency

Statement

Transparency is the most important concept of this restaurant. The semiopen kitchen and the accessible garden/greenhouse represent the transparency of the ingredients and the production process. Transparency narrows the distance between guests and restaurants and increases trust. Close communication between guests and food preparation also can improve food safety.

Transparency allows the process of cooking to be completely exposed to the vision of the guests, this is a special highlight of the restaurant.
