Utility Building

Wedge Park is located in Candlestick Point, San Francisco, and is a central feature to the development surrounding the plaza and park area. The park buildings designed by Dilworth Eliot Studio were the cafe, pump station, and restrom facilities.

Sorrounded by the developments infrastructure, the Bus Rapid Transit System and central cycle route, the part provides respite in the urban core of the new development. The park’s unique shape give the plaza qualities of a plaza and promenade. The role of the architecture of the utility building was to blend with the more formal architecture of the restrooms and the cafe. The utility building and restroom were related with their mesh skin

Images: courtesy of DE+ providing some transparency to the function of the building. The mesh skin allowed the substructure to drive the form and allow the material to react. The roof of the cafe was to float with the promenade and allow as much open space as could be provided for the cafe function. The paving was carefully selected to find a product that could be used both indoor and outdoor so the plaza continued through the space. With the gathering spaces of the plaza organized at the wider end of wedge park, the architecuture was organized along the side to provide extensive views across the South Basin to Hunters Point.

The design of the restroom building had just begun schematic design at the time of this print.
