Project Requirements

2190 Vallejo Street is a four-story residential home. The building is comprised of a 1-bedroom apartment on the lower level with the upper three levels of the residence. The building is located in the Pacific Heights neighborhood of San Francisco and was designed by architect Edgar Mathews in 1904. The lower floor at 2190 Vallejo will be rented out through San Francisco’s Section 8 Rental Assistance Program for low-income tenants. The units require better designs to serve residents who have disabilities such as these and others. Implementation of the Principles of Universal Design and compliance with ADA will be critical. The design will be kept at its original footprint and will include the following for the lower level:

• Entry Closet

• One bedroom with a closet (2 feet deep and 5 feet wide, minimum)

• One bathroom

• Kitchen

• Dining Room with seating for four

• Living Room with seating for four

• Laundry washer and dryer

• Linen closet (near bedroom or laundry)

• Space for a work desk (may be located in bedroom or living room)
