2.USED GOODS MARKET
730 Stanyan St., San Francisco, CA
Sandwiched between Golden Gate Park and Haight Street, the used goods market was designed to create a space that neither overshadows nor gets lost in the hustle and bustle of the already well-established and distinct auras of Golden Gate Park and Haight street.
My approach to the site was to create an open air market with the main design feature being a series of folding rooves that could be opened or closed in response to the weather.
The program includes 34 stalls, a dining area, public restrooms, storage for stalls, a loading zone for goods, an ADA accessible ramp, administrative offices, and an auditorium for performances/auctions.

3. INTERGENERATIONAL HOUSING
490 Golf Club Rd., Pleasant Hill, CA
The affordable housing project shares the site with an adult day health care and Montessori preschool, creating an intergenerational space. The housing building was designed to create interactions between the different age groups present. Solar panels line the rooves and south side of the building, and there are numerous outdoor spaces present to create connections between the housing building and the rest of the site. There was also a request for this building to envoke JOY, which is why color is emphasized in the facade.

The striped colors alternate with wooden slatting, creating visual interest which can be viewed from the preschool and adult day health care. The trellises covering the roof gardens continue the shape of the facade, and continue the theme of “housing” throughout the project.

A relatively new area of San Francisco, the East Cut is a 3-block develpoment containing a large museum and retail section. East Cut is located nearby downtown, the salesforce park, Embarcadero, and the financial district. Thus, it was important to create a space that would fit in nicely with the busy surroundings by standing out while not being overbearing.

The musuem is the centerpiece of the space and is defined by a series of long, striped windows that wrap the building and the interior galleries with natural light defracted by a meshing system.

The interior of the museum is defined by assymetric floors that cut back at important points to allow for the sculptures to be viewed from different angles. The cut-backs also allow for natural light to disperse into the lower floors.
