02HAYES VALLEY PARCEL P
DESCRIPTION
As the largest of the city-owned sites made available by the demolition of the Central Freeway, the redevelopment of Parcel P is a critical step in repairing the neighborhood fabric in Hayes Valley. Pyatok Architects, with associate architects Kennerly Architecture + Planning and Jon Worden Architects, designed a high-profile mixed use building that responds to the diverse and eclectic neighborhood character.
The 4-5 story building consists of 182 market-rate rental units - studio, one and two bedroom apartments - stacked above ground-floor retail at Octavia and Laguna Streets and two-story townhomes along Oak and Hickory Streets. In response to dramatic site topography and height limits (65’ max.), the building levels step down the slope resulting in a site-specific relationship to topography and retention of the historic San Francisco character. Porches, stairs, planters, and private entries along Oak and Hickory Streets create interest at the street level and provide a finer-grained residential scale. Articulated bays cladded with stucco, metal, and synthetic wood are a modern interpretation of the San Francisco vernacular.
The site is conceived as 4 main buildings arranged with 3 outdoor courtyards to allow light and air into the units, providing common open space to residents. Two roof decks and private balconies provide additional open space. The through-block central courtyard is the largest of seven entry passages which create visual breaks in the street facade and increased access for residents. The project includes a proposal for the extension of Hickory Street as a “Living Alley” with limited vehicular traffic, to create a vibrant pedestrian and bike street.

DESCRIPTION
Bowles Hall is a 1928 Collegiate Gothic-style building situated on a steep hillside on the University of California at Berkeley campus. The building has a main linear core containing the historic common spaces flanked by two wings that step down the hillside towards campus. Pyatok Architects studied the feasibility of transforming the currently all-male freshman dormitory into a residential college, an academic community for freshman through seniors which provides housing, dining tutoring, and recreation.
One of the client’s primary concerns was to provide a high degree of privacy for students by offering private bathrooms, shared by a maximum of 2 rooms, and as many single occupancy rooms as possible. Within the restrictions of a narrow floor plate, the design team was able to achieve a scheme with 189 beds: 37% single rooms, 66% double rooms, and an average of 2.5 students per bathroom. The scheme includes a spacious 2 bedroom Resident Director’s Apartment and several rooms for Resident Assistants (graduate student mentors). All rooms are designed to meet CBC 2010 accessibility standards.
An addition on the west end of the building provides additional square footage for the kitchen and a game room. Other recreational spaces include a fitness room, three laundry rooms, printer rooms, and various quiet study rooms and study lounges throughout the building.
Bowles Hall is listed on the National Register of Historic Places; the historic interior spaces will be refurbished. The exterior of the building is architecturally exposed board formed concrete with numerous steeply pitched roofs clad in terracotta tiles. Exterior restorations include removal and reattachment of clay roof tiles and concrete patches where spalling has occurred.

DESCRIPTION
The Waterman Gardens Residential Community, built in 1943, is located on the key San Bernardino intersection of Waterman Avenue and Baseline Street. The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino retained Pyatok Architects as the Master Plan Architect to lead a revitalization and neighborhood revitalization process to provide mixed-income housing and community services. Through a community participatory process, the development aims to create a sustainable neighborhood with a variety of housing in small clusters that knit into the fabric of the surrounding community.
The new site design will increase the housing count from 252 units to approximately 411 units, ranging from affordable to market-rate family units, as well as designated units for senior residents. A large community center was designed by consulting architects ELS Architecture to provide space for recreation and education programs, such as day care and early child development services, adult education and job training programs, healthcare services, a computer lab, indoor fitness facility with a pool, and outdoor sports fields. More green space and parks are essential to the design, including playgrounds, community garden plots, and a pedestrian greenway. The unit types will range from 1-4 bedroom apartments and townhomes with private parking, on-site laundry facilities, private patios/balconies, garden spaces, and energy efficient appliances.
A high priority was placed on sustainable site strategies at all scales of development, from stormwater management and walkability to reducing on-site ambient temperature and residential building efficiency. Significant design effort was directed towards traffic calming measures on Waterman Avenue and Baseline Streets to give the community residents safer access to neighborhood services.

11 WATERMAN GARDENS
PARTICIPATORY DESIGN WORKSHOP
Pyatok Architects led a three day on-site community workshop at Waterman Gardens, which included a site tour and site planning, unit planning, and street design sessions for current residents. Residents were asked to convey their vision for the community using pieces from prepared “design kits” and present their schemes to the group. Issues of safety and neighborhood security, pedestrian and vehicular circulation, and future location of on-site services were explored. In addition, the design team engaged the larger community through meetings with people from the adjacent neighborhoods, local business owners, current on-site service providers, and potential service partners. Continual feedback is maintained through the Local Planning Committee, a group of residents and key stakeholders who will guide development plans as they progress through various phases.

SACRAMENTO CAPITOL MALL DESIGN COMPETITIONSecond Place Winner
With Geoffrey Barton (architectural designer, Lou Huang (urban designer), and Darryl Stuart (landscape designer)DESCRIPTION
“The City of Sacramento, in partnership with the American Institute of Architects Central Valley, launched a design competition for Capitol Mall on Tuesday. Catalyst is an open ideas competition that is seeking forward-thinking, innovative and implementable urban and architectural designs for the Capitol Mall corridor of Downtown Sacramento – the 6-block boulevard between California’s State Capitol building and the iconic Tower Bridge over the Sacramento River.”
• • •River City Promenade brings brings people back to the Mall with three principles in mind: to activate the edges of the mall, frame the view of the Capitol, and to direct visitors down a path from the river to the Capitol building. By amplifying the existing assets, the design creates a unique experience that resonates with Sacramento citizens and visitors alike. The civic space prioritizes dynamic gathering spaces for the pedestrian, while emphasizing the formal grandeur of the Capitol Mall through episodic framed views along the progression.
The six block boulevard is broken down into a sequence of three pedestrian zones, each with a distinct character, to engage the pedestrian along a varied and dynamic path from the Tower Bridge to the Capitol building. The “promenade” begins with an elevated park over the freeway that connects to Old Sacramento, a dense tree canopy which progresses into the central event space, a transit plaza with amenities for commuters/visitors, and finally, a formal plaza at the foot of the Capitol building. Strategies to activate the space include removing a lane of traffic in each direction, removing curbs, encouraging food trucks and other periodic events, and infilling buildings to create a better street edge. As the city lacks funds to implement large projects, each component of the Promenade plan can be implemented separately until the final space is realized.

ULI NATIONAL PANEL ISSUES RAILYARDS DEVELOPMENT RECOMMENDATIONSEnvisions Railyards as Center of New Transit District
Sacramento, Calif.,– A national panel of experts brought to Sacramento by the Urban Land Institute (ULI)confirmed today that the 240 acre downtown Sacramento Railyards development site has significant longterm development potential, and that it presents an exciting and unique opportunity for the City to become amore attractive urban destination.
The panel, formed as part of the ULI’s Daniel Rose Center for Public Leadership in Land Use fellowshipprogram, also made several recommendations about how to move the long term project forward. The panel’sgoal was to identify the actions that will position the Railyards to attract a significant share of regionaldevelopment, and what activities can be an early catalyst for new investment at the site.
The panel’s recommendations, presented this morning to the public at the Sacramento City Council chambers,include:
Recognizing that development at the site will occur in an incremental fashion, similar to redevelopment ata similar Railyards site in downtown Denver.
Building on the initial $225 million infrastructure investment by establishing better connections betweenthe site and other City neighborhoods, including downtown, Midtown and the River District.
Consideration of developing a transit district instead of a single facility to accommodate planned newtransportation services, including high speed rail, a light rail extension and streetcars.
Ensuring adequate open space and parks that showcase the river and the central shops.
Identifying and actively pursuing potential catalytic projects.

14CAPITOL MALL DESIGN COMPETITIONsacramento capitol mall design competition architectural designer aug - sept 2011
Sacramento’s Capitol Mall is more than just a street, it is the public space that connects the greatest attractions of the city: the river, the capitol and the historic neighborhoods beyond.We propose a three-fold strategy to transform the Capitol Mall: activate the edges, frame the view, and direct the path. Implementing these strategies will help reveal what is already present in downtown Sacramento: urban civic grandeur. Formal icon, event space, transportation hub, city park, gardens and good urban landscape, the new Capitol Mall becomes a place for any time of day, every day of the year.

sac lunchThe Capitol Mall has only a few restaurants, and the proposed civic space is ideally suited for a daily rotation of high‑quality local food trucks during the work lunch rush, weekly evening street festivals and other special events. According to a recent survey in the SacramentoBee, residents are clamoring for better dining options. The necessary infrastructure investment is minimal and can be implemented immediately; the City can dramatically increase pedestrian activity simply by repealing current restrictions and issuing more food truck permits.
The proposed Sacramento Center is a multi‑use development to serve the growing needs of tourists and visiting business professionals in downtown Sacramento. As a civic icon for residents that anchors the western gateway of Capitol Mall, the development will contain a cultural facility, with rotating exhibitions showcasing the collections of local museums, as well as gallery space for local artists. The Center also includes an elevated cafe and green roof with outdoor seating with views to the Capitol Building and Tower Bridge.

curbless appealThe Capitol Mall should be a civic gathering place first, and traffic thoroughfare second. By reducing lanes of traffic to one in each direction and raising the street level to the curb, this proposal creates a pedestrian‑focused civic space.
episodic progressionWhat’s a view without viewers? The most valuable urban design element is people. By offering a progression of differing views of the landmark Capitol building, the Capitol Mall becomes a vibrant promenade with a series of unique spaces.
