HAYES VALLEY HOUSING COMPETITION

PROJECT:

Housing Competition

San Francisco, California

TYPE:

Mixed-Use Residential

DESCRIPTION:

This was a competition to design a multi-unit housing complex in San Francisco's Hayes Valley neighborhood.

From the project website:

 "Fifteen years after the Loma Prieta earthquake devastated parts of San Francisco, an amazing silver lining has emerged in the City’s Hayes Valley Neighborhood. The earthquake-damaged Central Freeway, a double-deck structure that once cut a swath through this neighborhood, was demolished. Left behind are twenty-two parcels that can be developed, some of which line a brand new, landscaped European-style boulevard being built to replace the freeway. In addition to providing the opportunity to build almost 1000 new housing units and vibrant retail space in a densely populated historical neighborhood in the center of San Francisco, the project offers an exceptional opportunity to achieve excellence and innovation in urban infill architectural design that will over time establish the boulevard as a San Francisco destination.
