WRNS Studio designs unconventional parking structure for San Francisco

The 540-space car park, Developed by Alexandria Real Estate Equities, is separated from the street with a gentle curve and is situated at the convergence of Grand Avenue and Forbes Boulevard

by Connor Gill 21 January 2022 Metal in architecture

At five storeys tall, the structure takes many of its visual cues from the adjacent office building and mimics the height and scale of the amenities podium to form a continuous façade. The framing of the podium inspires the contrast of metal mesh and concrete along the structure, aiding the wayfinding aspect of the building. 

The curved façade is punctuated by a series of angled insets that recall the geometry of the office building. Perimeter landscaping provides an additional 80 surface spots.
