Peninsula Crossing

Bayshore Burlingame

Professional work, Concept, SD, DD, 25%CD Phase 2021-2023, Team Work, WRNS Studio, Size: Approx. 1.5 Million SF.

Peninsula Crossing proposes to transform 12 acres of underutilized waterfront space in the heart of the San Francisco Bay Area into a dynamic life sciences neighborhood. The concept includes generous public gathering spaces to accommodate a wide variety of uses, including food and beverage facilities, recreation, and events. In addition to three new buildings, the proposed project includes shoreline improvements, Bay Trail extension, and new shoreline public space.

Building Massing Studies

The massing concept breaks down the scale of the buildings into slender upperlevel volumes that face the public open spaces. The buildings are divided into upper volumes with a taut and ethereal glass and metal skin, and lower volumes that feature a solid earth-like texture and granular and pedestrian-scaled massing.
