MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT, San Diego, CA
Co-Design Director with Gensler
A large, mixed-use neighborhood north of San Diego is conceived as a dynamic urban enclave including offices, lab space, a hotel, retail, and a grocery store. The creative office building is a mass-timber structure with extremely low embodied carbon. The larger buildings, which house labs and offices, mediate between the trolley line and the retail promenade. Extensive colored brise-soleil, inspired by regional architecture, lowers heat gain and enhances daylight. The project is pursuing LEED Platinum and net-zero energy for the creative office Building and LEED Gold for all others.
