PROPOSED: 935 Folsom

[yekaterinab]

"CLIENT GOAL: A condominium project in downtown San Francisco that responds to the diverse elements of the neighborhood.

DESIGN RESPONSE: 935 Folsom Street is an eight-story 69 unit condominium project in the SOMA (South of Market) neighborhood of San Francisco. The site is close to the downtown and three blocks from MoMA and Union Square. The building will be situated along Folsom Street, a retail thoroughfare. It is bounded by neighborhood alleyways on two other faces. This dramatic and dynamic difference in scale encourages the building design to go through a transition from its public facade to a more residential character along the quieter alleys. Ground floor retail is located along Folsom. Terraces overlook the quiet neighborhood streets in order to allow expanded views and greater solar access to the planted streetscape below."
