1424 SoMa is an infill project designed to be a striking addition to the SoMa district. Respecting the scale and historic nature of the neighborhood, the building engages the street at multiple levels. Traditional rhythms and symmetry are combined with new materials and colors that veer from the typical South Main palette.

The jury said this project “demonstrates a great solution to the ‘missing middle housing’ affecting so many cities in North America.”
