SAPPHIRE TOWER OWNERS ASSOCIATION
Sapphire Tower
Everything about this boutique condo tower aims to provide discerning residents with an unmatched level of luxury and exclusivity. From its coveted waterfront location and floor to ceiling windows that provide spectacular views of San Diego Bay, to the privacy and tranquility provided by the unique architectural design that allows for only a few residences per floor, the 33-story tower was built to impress. However, the recent building boom that has significantly transformed San Diego’s skyline since the tower’s construction in 2008 is raising expectations for buyers seeking luxury urban dwellings in today’s market.
Carrier Johnson + Culture was hired to re-kindle the spark - the “wow factor” - for this property through a significant building repositioning to include exterior facade interventions to the building entry, parking entry and exterior stairwell, the redesign of common areas such as the main lobby, elevator lobbies, unit corridors and exterior breezeway and the redesign of amenity spaces including the clubhouse, fitness center, and pool deck amenity space.

Luma
LUMA is a high-rise multifamily tower located right at the southern edge of Little Italy and bordering the Columbia neighborhood with close proximity to the San Diego Bay. The client enlisted Carrier Johnson + Culture to design a 24-story mixed-use tower that would fully capitalize on the site’s potential and maximize views of the water and city. As this was a dense urban site, the design team had to find playful formal solutions to create views that peak over and around the immediate surrounding context. Because of its prominent corner location, it was also important that this project represent Little Italy’s neighborhood identity and positively contribute to a bustling and artistic urban character.
Our team approached the design of Luma with multiple experiences in mind: that of the future user, pedestrian, neighbor, and distanced onlooker. The intent was to communicate the particular character of the surrounding neighborhoods in an abstract form with a unique exterior façade and massing design while achieving the client’s goal to offer residents unparalleled San Diego views and amenities.
To respond appropriately to its two adjacent neighborhoods, the massing of the tower was conceived as two interlocking elements: a proud glass jewel box anchors the corner of Ash and Columbia overlooking the downtown skyline and a second shorter mass relates closer to the Little Italy neighborhood with playful geometries and formal elements. The meeting of these two urban relationships would also be conveyed through the building’s articulated facade. The team developed a distinct architectural language to represent the major urban forces at play.
The building meets the ground and greets its users and passersby with a graphic metal panel that wraps the entire above-ground parking podium levels in a figure ground map of the neighborhood. This screen helps to minimize car headlight incidence to the neighboring developments and creates a unique street-plinth experience for urban dwellers and pedestrians.

Park 12 Ballpark Village
Situated in San Diego’s Sport and Entertainment District, the Ballpark Village development offers locational advantages such as proximity Petco Park, the trolley transfer station, and the New Central Library. Ballpark Village was to be the final leg of the 100-year-old plan to link Balboa Park through Downtown San Diego to the Bay. Within the framework of a previously approved Master Plan, Carrier Johnson + Culture was tasked to progress the vision of creating a lively neighborhood within a neighborhood. The development sits on a 3.5-acre site, previously home to an SDG&E station, divided into three subparcels.
Our design separated Parcel C into three blocks that extend downtown San Diego’s existing urban grid, maintaining the grain and scale of the ground plane circulation that reinforces the pedestrian activities of the streets. These blocks are divided by walkways, simulating the classic mews, which facilitate specific pedestrian connections through the site. All three sub-parcels are linked at the podium level with a series of walkways and bridges interrupted by engaging opportunities for indooroutdoor living experiences as exhibited in the “California living rooms” overlooking the street level scene.
The personalities of each building have individual links to the community. Parcel C1 relates to the new library in color and modulation, with details in both rough and refined materials. Parcels C3 and C4 represent East Village as a whole, with materials that reflect the industrial history and open portals that reach out to “Tailgate Park” at the East. The base of Parcel C2 has a strong connectivity, visually and physically to Petco Park, by extending internal open space through the street wall. The Plaza is aligned with each building forming a crescent that embraces the open space with glazed facades.
The tower takes on the responsibility of being a new icon within East Village. The building’s mass is made of multiple angles that gesture movement and connection from the inner city to the waterfront, with views of the city and beyond.

Higher Education Arts & Culture
HOLLAND PARTNER GROUP
Park & Market
UC San Diego sought to create a new Urban Innovation and Education Hub in downtown San Diego to foster a wide range of educational experiences and research opportunities as well as arts and cultural activities and build a stronger connection to the San Diego community. After researching multiple sites around East Village, UCSD selected a block situated at the corner of Park Boulevard and Market Street – a junction ideally situated near the Light Rail Transit Blue Line that connects the UCSD La Jolla campus to the north and the US-Mexico border to the south. The site is also surrounded by other inspired academic institutions. The city block was owned by the City of San Diego, who hoped it would be developed to spur job creation, educational opportunities, business incubation, cultural activities for the public, and housing; UCSD’s new mixed-use build was opportune for all stakeholders.
To execute the development, the City enlisted Holland Partner Group, with whom carrier johnson + culture already had an established successful relationship. Together, the City and the developer envisioned an iconic high-rise that offered a mix of high-end and affordable rental units, retail along Park Boulevard, restoration of the historic Remmen Building, and publicly accessible open space to fulfill multiple uses. The Hub would amplify UCSD’s academic outreach to local middle and high school students in the city and serve as a catalyst for faculty to engage in research and collaborative partnerships with other institutions in the downtown area.

The project utilizes and preserves a four-story historic warehouse structure in the Gaslamp Quarter. Preserving and celebrating the heritage of the historic warehouse vernacular in the Ballpark District, the building will soar 430’ above, creating a distinct balancing contrast between historic base and modern glass tower. The historic building at the base will be brought back to its original design intent, preserving its unique architectural elements. As a harmonious contrast to the historic base, the sleek and clean design lines of the tower will create a visual balance as a celebration of old and new. The crown of the building will house a collection of amenity uses inside and out for building residents, capitalizing on panoramic views to the bay and the San Diego skyline.

A 253-room Hilton Garden Hotel, inspired by the industrial history of the area, completes the mixed-use concept by contributing a sophisticated standard of urban living.
At the entry to the Gaslamp Historic District on the eastern edge of the project, the architecture evokes the original warehouse building through the reconstruction of the original facade of the T.M. Cobb warehouse. Along the south edge of the project, the architecture reflects the style of the Marina District in its use of concrete, glass and a smooth stucco finish on the exterior walls. To the west, at the front of the hotel, is the King Promenade Park, with walkways, benches, chairs, and outdoor dining opportunities.
