Featured Project: Kaiser Vallejo Courtyards

We’re pleased to share the latest images of a recently completed project: the courtyards at Kaiser Vallejo. We were tasked with designing the entry, dining, and rehabilitation courtyard spaces, maintaining a similar design language between the three while creating unique experiences for each. We elected to achieve this via bamboo plantings, using the natural architectural characteristics of the bamboo’s form to create a visual continuity between outside and inside on each floor, while relating each of the courts to each other. Make sure to check out more images of this project on our website.

We’re happy to share some finished photography of our most recently completed project: the studios of Noel Barnhurst. We were asked to renovate a 1930’s era concrete warehouse located in San Francisco’s SOMA district to accommodate the client’s food photography studio as well as other associated program including test + preparation kitchens, as well as office + conference spaces. We appreciated the raw material character of the existing building and worked to preserve these elements while making sure new construction complemented the building’s existing material palette. Hand in hand with this strategy, we avoided creating hard partitions and opted instead for a series of heavy velour curtains to divide space — ensuring the spatial organization remained open-ended and keeping the physical presence of the building in focus.
