2018 Architecture Merit Award with Social Responsibility Commendation

This building is the largest new 100%-affordable development to open in San Francisco in a decade. Located in the rapidly developing Mission Bay neighborhood, the sustainable urban building provides 200 affordable, mixed-use, transit-oriented homes for low-income families, plus street edges activated with residential stoops and neighborhood-serving retail space.

This is an example demonstrating that affordable housing means design opportunity, not design abdication. Every window, railing, and material finish is considered and handled with care through to the project's well-built conclusion.
