2429 Market, Oakland
The project is located in a redevelopment area of West Oakland. The site fronts Market Street, a major northsouth thoroughfare with an eclectic collection of warehouses, Victorian homes, and small commercial shops. The property contains an existing singlestory concrete block structure set back from the street. The client, an artisan/craftsman relocating from New York, desired a mixeduse development to include a small residence for him and his young family, workspace and exhibit for his business, and additional leasable commercial space. The design straddles the existing single-story concrete structure with two double-story buildings in front and behind, literally ‘filling’ the site. The disparate structures are linked by a multifunctioning, metal lattice with movable screens and shelves that provide display, storage and access. The project’s material expression is reflective of both the surrounding context and the modest budget of the project – unfinished cast concrete walls, unfinished cedar wood and metal siding, and aluminum windows.along the perimeter of a commons area and above the main road. Access to the site is along the back of the buildings from a newly built road.
