The building is designed as a heavy, rough-finished precast concrete volume, with large punched openings to denote interior space hierarchy. The first floor opens up the corner of the building with a California Cuisine Restaurant. The Second Floor is laid out as a typical office. This is a steel frame building clad in precast concrete panels.
The Restaurant opens up to the street by stepping in 7' behind the cantilevered 2nd story. This provides for a public area used for seasonal markets during the day, and outdoor dining in the afternoons and evenings.
Rendered elevations showing cantilevered 2nd story, and material treatment of the facades. Rough precast concrete cantilevers heavily above warm, finished redwood (dark oiled teak) siding. On North Elevation, the rough concrete touches ground to denote privacy of spaces beyond, and provide an appropriate medium for climbing plantings.
The section below is taken at the exterior soffit. Note precast concrete detail.
Typical details.
