Two 12-story towers with 109 residences and a shared courtyard. The towers are connected by an enclosed glass pedestrian sky bridge with east and west views of downtown San Francisco and Twin Peaks.
The exterior façade undulates as the facade recesses on various floors, creating spatial relief and activating the street wall with private balconies. The objective was to create shade and shadow with depth and relief rather than applying fenestration to the façade. The overall rhythm, texture and undulation of the exterior wall was developed as a response to the neighboring historic typology and texture along the Market Street corridor.
