North Beach Place
Location: San Francisco
In this mixed-use development, PGAdesign played a key role in its success by conceiving the project as a green roof. Beneath the two-acre podium, underground parking, street-level shops, and 341 apartments interweave with outdoor spaces. Richly planted beds feature different tree species for each cluster of units, and a diversity of plant species well-suited to the local micro-climate and limited soil depths.
Urban streetscapes with planting, granite cobbles at tree wells, and benches front stores and the Taylor Street cable-car terminus. Free-flowing contours designed for the paths and planting areas unify what has been called “the largest mixed-use, mixed-income development of its kind in California.”
