mixed-use urban infill | senior capstone san francisco, california

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

6044 Geary Boulevard / Central Richmond District >> 2500 square-feet / 3 floors / 5 residential units & 1 commerical unit

Geary Boulevard is a main east-west thoroughfare for San Francisco, connecting the district to the downtown area on the east side. By focusing on

infill housing in a dense city, the building grows and develops an urban area by promoting infill projects on vacant lots. This project is based on

adaptability; creating living spaces that are flexible and convertible to meet the needs of its users over different life cycles so that they are able to

live in the same place for long periods of time without needing to move because their residence no longer meets their lifestyle needs. By doing so,

residents form and maintain a ‘sense of place’ and a ‘sense of belonging,’ which is often lost in the hustle and bustle of city life.

photochromatic chamber PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Exploration and analysis of natural light behavior with regards to its properties & principles.

Function and use are both instrumental (sight/insight) & iconic (phenomenal/imaginative).

Design Concept: The pheonomena of backlighting is expressed by the layering

of several frames that gradually increase in size. By using

wood, the ‘softness’ of natural lighting is enhanced by the

‘warm’ quality of the wood.
