Located on the triangular site of a former gravel yard, 1 De Haro, a project developed by SKS Partners and designed by Perkins&Will, is San Francisco’s first cross-laminated timber (CLT) building and California’s first multi-story, fully mass timber building. The four-story, 134,000 square foot building blends into its urban surroundings while still making a statement. Designed to evoke a jewelry box, its wooden core is wrapped with a glimmering glass curtain wall that illuminates at night. 1 De Haro provides an attractive mix of office and light industrial space that is both sustainable and marketable.

1 Haro

San Francisco, California

Mass Timber 1 De Haro was built much like many podium structures throughout the country, with stacked wood construction on a concrete base. However, 1 De Haro’s wood structure is made of mass timber, a construction technique relatively new to North America. By utilizing cross-laminated timber and gluelaminated timber, 1 De Haro is lighter, more sustainable, quicker to construct, and more beautiful than a steel or concrete building. Wrapped in a simple yet finely detailed curtain wall, the warmth and quality of the exposed wood connects to the building’s purpose of supporting local makers.

1 De Haro is the first mass timber building in San Francisco to use CLT and the first multi-story building of its type in California.

Building 12

San Francisco,

― WHAT IT RenovationIS of an historic building at Pier 70 into a combined market hall and office spaces.

Vibrant community gathering space. Historic Building 12 will be transformed into the beacon of the future Pier 70 site and the heart and soul of the neighborhood. Built in 1941, the renovation of Building 12 is envisioned as a vibrant community gathering and event space that is integral and connected to the landscape and overall site offering spectacular views of the San Francisco Bay and the city. The design of Building 12 welcomes visitors to the grand market hall via three colossal red portals and fully operable window walls along key facades to provide maximum porosity between the interior market hall and the surrounding pedestrian plazas and streets. While the ground floor and new mezzanine are open to the public, the new second level will house artisan and maker studios and the former Mold Loft on the upper floor will be designed for workplace. The main emphasis of the Building 12 experience will be a celebration of local making and manufacturing which engages the public in the act of manufacturing.

Client: Brookfield Investments Size: 230,000 square feet Completion Date: March 2022 (Core&Shell) Sustainability: LEED Gold Anticipated

Building Lift Long before the Pier 70 project began, developer Brookfield Properties and the Port of San Francisco determined that the new neighborhood to be built here must address a 100-year projected sea level rise and that Building 12, which once housed the fabrication and cutting of steel sheets for the hulls of the ships built at Pier 70, is a significant historic resource. For the Building 12 design team, these two requirements set forth a design journey that could be deemed heroic, is most certainly innovative and, in some ways, backwards. For new construction, one would simply set the new first floor level at the new grade, however for an existing building, such as Building 12, this decision presented a conundrum. Once the new site grades were complete, the existing first floor would reside some 10-feet below ground. In a move ill-fitting for the faint-hearted, it was decided that Building 12 would be lifted along with the site.

To adapt to projected 100-year sea-level rise and to ensure the future viability of this project, Building 12 and the adjacent Building 15 historic frame was lifted 10’-0” above current ground level.

100 Hooper San Francisco, CA

The design solution for 100 Hooper seeks to blend the variety of activities on site. 100 Hooper celebrates PDR by making daily activities a part of the neighborhood streetscape. The complex is made up of two bars, organized around a circulation spine called the “Paseo.” The Paseo is a central street that will be a hub of PDR and office activity.

After many manufacturing businesses were priced out of their SF locations during the first dot.com economic boom of the 1990’s, the Planning Department implemented strategic zoning policies to attract new manufacturing businesses. The zoned use for 100 Hooper, known as PDR intends to revitalize San Francisco’s struggling manufacturing economy. In this case, the ground floor will host a variety of new and growing PDR businesses at affordable rents, while the upper three stories will host market rate office space, creating a diverse, on-site economy that mimics the city.

Above: Carolina Street Entrance. Left: The Central Atrium, Filled with Natural Light from the Operable Greenhouse Roof.

While we carefully preserved the historic structure fronting 16th street, we carved a hole in the roof to infuse the building with light. We topped the hole in the roof with an operable glass roof that brings in light and fresh air and creates a central social space. This emphasis on interaction is furthered by the roll up doors which each of the flexible units that surround the atrium can use access the center area.

For the last four decades, this building was the headquarters and production center for prom-gown dress designer, Jessica McClintock. When our client purchased the defunct building, it was an opportunity to revitalize a 1930’s building, and a neighborhood, in a way that would encourage interaction. Our goal for the McClintock building was to retain the distinctive style of the Art Deco original while approaching the 1950’s addition in a more playful way. In addition to updates modernizing the building, our idea for this adaptive re-use was to promote social interaction and innovation.

Sacramento Valley Station Area Plan

31-acre

Sacramento Valley Station has become a center of gravity for new planning initiatives and investment. While the existing station is served by many transit providers, it lacks the seamless efficiency of a successful multimodal hub. The Area Plan seeks to capitalize on the land value through the development of high-intensity, mixed-use projects, and, more broadly, to strengthen the connections between Old Sacramento, Downtown Sacramento, and the emerging Railyards District.

Client: City of Sacramento Size: 31 acres Completion Date: 2020 ― WHAT IT IS This Area Plan will guide transformationthe

Focusing on user experience, the primary goals of this initial phase were to catalyze growth in downtown Sacramento with a walkable, livable district and develop a robust network of alternative modes, eliminating on-site parking demand for transit users and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. With multiple modalities and interests converging in one dense place, the new district will establish a common ground that can capture and reflect the unique character of Sacramento, in a carbon-net positive model for urban living.

Neighborhood Context

As part of the larger development of Mission Bay Blocks 29-32, Perkins&Will with AE3 Partners was the design architect for the mixed-use office and retail building on the corner of 3rd and 16th Street. The 11-acre development site is the new home of the Golden State Warriors’ new, state-of-the-art multi-purpose event center. The towers, tear-dropped in plan, complements the curvilinear aesthetic of the event center and other structures on the site, without mimicking it. The tower is differentiated from its context in Mission Bay by its warmth, color, irregularity, and curves. The building form is envisioned to be highly functional and flexible with respect to tenant layouts. Together with the other tower on site, the 16th Street Office and Retail building has a distinctive presence on the San Francisco skyline, and create a strong sense of place surrounding the event center.

Potrero Power Station

Perkins and Will was selected as master planners for this site because of our experience ushering in other visionary projects that are taking shape on San Francisco’s waterfront, our knowledge of and ability to work collaboratively with the City and the community, and our thought leadership and innovation in resilient, waterfront design.

Potrero Power Station

History

The site is bookended by a 1889 power station at one end and a 1964 power station at the other. The 300-foottall Stack will remain as an icon on the waterfront and a reminder of the site’s rich history. The site represents a transformation from a polluting power plant to a sustainable, resilient neighborhood that embraces wellness.

Sustainability & Resilience

The site is planning for 66” of Sea Level Rise, above today’s 100 year storm, which involves elevating portions of the site by about 3 feet. This will require enhancements of the existing seawall and shoreline armoring for wave run-up. The requirement to fill the seaward edge of the site represents a significant investment in the waterfront – which is also an excellent opportunity to create a vibrant waterfront park.

Client: Caltrain Size: 3 acres, 1.1 million square feet Completion Date: Ongoing

This project will create over 1.1 million square feet of Class-A office space and active ground floor uses on the Caltrain site. The concept design fulfills the vision articulated by the Diridon Station Area Plan and complements the Diridon Integrated Station Concept Plan and Downtown West Mixed-Use Plan (Google Plan). Located across Cahill Street from Diridon Station, the site offers a public open space, a comfortable pedestrian environment and vibrant activities along the building frontages. The development will support transit ridership around Diridon Station by cultivating an accessible arrival experience and providing an inspiring, collaborative work environment.

Caltrain Diridon Site Plan and Conceptual Development San Jose, California

The concept has been submitted to the City of San Jose as Planning Pre-Application.

In collaboration with Arup, Perkins&Will developed a site framework that prioritize pedestrian and bicycle movement to and from Diridon Station. The team took the constraint of having a light rail tunnel bisecting the site and turned it into an opportunity to offer a generous public open space.

As we prepare for a post-pandemic live/work environment, we are witnessing an increased interest in incorporating nature into the built environment. The shifted volumes create opportunities for occupiable outdoor terraces and roof decks. This offers a variety of places for collaboration and socialization complemented by spaces for hyper-focus and productivity.

Speeding up the delivery of life-saving cancer treatments by blending academic with private-sector research was the shared vision developed by two faculty members at UC San Diego. A decade later, a partnership between BioMed Realty, UCSD, and our design team led to the awardwinning Center for Novel Therapeutics (CNT). Responding to the richness in the variety of companies located within the Science Research Park, the CNT was designed to encourage chance encounters through research wings wrapping around a central atrium that creates visual and physical synergies between academic and private researchers. Today, the CNT serves as a cancer research hub and the first academic-industry drug discovery incubator site in San Diego.
