Rising 39 stories, this mixed-income, mixed-use development will consist of a 540-unit luxury apartment tower adjacent to a 462,000 square foot office building that will be the new home of the San Francisco Planning, Building and Public Works Departments. The residential tower will include 55,000 square feet of neighborhood serving retail with twenty percent of the residential units for affordable and low-income households. In addition, the owners will salvage the front portion of a historic Coca Cola bottling plant on 11th Street and Mission Street and revitalize it into a retail space.
I was brought on by Y.A. studio in October 2016 to assist on the 1500 Mission project. For the first few months, my scope of work was focused on the salvation and restoration of the historic Coca Cola building (historic significance included its art deco design and its importance to the city of San Francisco throughout the years). My work included accurate 3D modeling of the building, structural coordination with structural engineer firm Structus Inc, the design of the proposed spaces for future tenants, bike parking layout, and site demo permits. The building is currently under demolition based on these documents and permits.
The remaining months of work were on the residential portion with HKS Architects. From there, my scope of work was focused on basement levels, and the first level. My scope of work included the design of circulation for pedestrians and for the parking facility (basement level 1 and basement level 2 which included automobile parking and bike parking).
I was also tasked with the detailing of stairs for all levels. The next assignment included the coordination of the elevator core layout and the coordination of the trash chute. My duration on the project lasted over a year and we completed 90% on construction documents phasing.
