Location San Francisco, California Client UrbanWest Associates of San Diego SWA Scope Landscape Architecture Size 1.8 acres Architect Soloman Cordwell Buenz & Associates, Inc. Korth Sunseri Hagey Architects
This 700-unit project represents one of the first residential high-rise towers in San Francisco’s mixeduse Rincon Hill district, which offers excellent views of the Oakland Bay Bridge and the East Bay beyond. SWA’s landscape design uses public open space to provide a transition between the noisy, traffic-packed First Street onramp and the arrival drive for the towers, with street trees in raised planters and a bosque of trees at the pocket park. The second major landscape area, located on a podium above the five-level parking garage, offers residents a variety of outdoor spaces and lounge areas including a reflecting pool with a fireplace, a barbeque area, a swimming pool and spa, trellised gardens, a raised decomposed granite terrace with outdoor dining tables, and a bamboo privacy grove at the freeway edge.
