This five story building provides a vital mixed-use complex of 71 family housing units in a dense downtown neighborhood of Oakland, California. The design maximizes light and air for the units, creates generous and comfortable outdoor spaces at the podium and at a roof deck and articulates the building to provide human scale and detail. The design wraps an L-shaped building around an east-facing courtyard. This space provides a center of community life, with a patio deck, community meeting room, offices and computer space. The plan arrangement effectively utilizes the site, minimizes circulation and provides comfortable open space. The elevations are highly articulated with deep recesses in a lively pattern highlighted by color, sunshades over living room windows and a dramatic street corner element. Most living rooms have floor-to-ceiling corner windows creating expansive views and a sense of expanded space within efficient floor plans.
