17th and Broadway Apartments

Location: Oakland

Project Type:

The landscape of 1640 Broadway provides a multitude of amenities designed to enhance social interaction, activity, and community—holding its own against the vibrant, thriving Oakland neighborhood on which this residential structure sits.

Level 6 is the center of activity, where a lap pool, spa, multiple fire pits, and outdoor kitchens with adjacent dining areas invite diverse activities. Large built-in planters and custom trellises create a sense of privacy. Undulating wood walls provide a dramatic backdrop, and also screen utilities and neighboring facades.

The view is the focus of the Level 33 roof deck. A double-sided bar and outdoor kitchen occupy the deck’s center, and two fire pits bookend the space. A steel trellis overhead offers some shade and opportunities for lighting. Tree planters with built-in benches add seating.
