The 490 Brannan project demolishes the existing 6,048 square foot vacated commercial building (DBA Wells Fargo –Central SoMa Key Development Site) and constructs a 12-story, two-level basement, 185-foot-tall mixed-used office building. The building has 21’-0” floor to floor height at the ground level, allowing Art PDR uses, ground level retail and a child-care facility all all enhanced with connected mezzanine areas. The building above provides office space from level 2 through 12, with roof terraces at Levels 6 and 10. The proposed building includes a Privately Owned Public Open Space (POPOS) as a mid-block connection between Brannan and Freelon Street Mostly as Open-to-Sky, this POPOS and Child Care Outdoor space is a 30 feet-wide Mid-Block Alley between Brannan Street and Freelon Street along north side of lot with mainly pedestrian access. Various setbacks and street widening are provided per planning requirement to accommodate expected high pedestrian traffic from newly constructed MUNI station at corner of 4th and Brannan. To accommodate the two-level basement, excavation is expected to be exceed 20 feet below grade. The project has been designed as a mid-rise building and complies with all Section 132.4 massing restrictions, as well as skyplane controls on mid-rise buildings with minor deviations that were approved with entitlements. The project fully achieves the Guidelines goals of emphasizing the importance of the corner at 4th and Brannan Streets, by creating a vertical massing expression that acts as an urban beacon and “holds” the urban corner.

The proposed project occupies a unique site flanked by the 101 freeway and ramp towards two sides and faces an industrial / residential neighborhood on mission and Erie street on the other two. The site also navigates an interesting interface at 13th street where it opens on the underside of the freeway. The proposed design addresses the immediate site context and creates a positive impact to the neighborhood at large. The facade towards the freeway and ramp is faceted to provide glazing at an angle to allow views towards the central business district while blocking glare from oncoming traffic on the freeways. a translucent screen material will be used to create angled fins that will allow light to percolate through while creating a visual buffer from the freeway. At the street level, the project intends to use a ‘lantern’ effect and will employ a perforated screen to create a brightly lit sidewalk underneath the freeway. The design aims to transform a grim, dark space into a bright and visually interesting public face. The building face at the street level is pulled back from the property line to create a green buffer zone that will incorporate lighting and a perforated screen to make the ‘lantern’; while also providing a visual and spatial relief for the building occupants. The facades towards mission street are more transparent but employ thickened vertical mullions or fins to break up the scale of the long building faces. As a reaction to the smaller scale of residential buildings on mission street, the elevation here is broken up by a series of ‘pop-outs’ bays. These spaces will function as a break-out space and respond to the bay-windows across the street. A central core is planned for the building that will allow maximum access to daylight for all tenant spaces along the periphery. In addition to the central core, two stairs are planned to serve 4 stories above grade and 1 basement parking level below grade. Show less

The program includes; lecture, photography, art, ceramics and sculpture studios as well as administrative and meeting spaces. Designed as a working canvas with natural light, strategic transparency, and sustainable materiality. The new facility will serve generations of students for years to come.. It provides ground-level access for Art, Ceramics, and Sculpture Studios. Using the half-story also provides an advantageous northen exposure for these spaces. The plan is organized on two axes: north-south which frames views to the natural landscape; and east-west which anchors the building as a student and faculty reading, studying, and socializing space. The east-west student and faculty reading, studying and socializing space is replicated on 2nd floor. The wide gallery circulation spaces are also replicated. Break two masses apart to align the western wing to Weaver Hall. Create a generous entry plaza while still maintaining views to the north. Transparent lobby and connective core of the NIB with expansive views north and south. All departments are visible from this space. East and west solar exposure are mitigated with the east and west wings. Rotated building mass respond to the natural grade of the site, opens the building to the population
coming from the parking garage, and expose itself past Weaver Hall to the south. Clear glass atrium space, connecting students circulating to the west side of campus. Show less

Strategies were developed to protect the interior areas of the campus from the strongest winds as well as to channel the wind both to potentially generate electricity through wind turbines and to allow softer cooling breezes to penetrate.

The buildings of the campus are shaped to steer the wind through the spaces between the buildings with the goal of cooling the spaces and the facades of the buildings. To maintain a lower rise vocabulary conducive to the movement of the wind, the shared lab building program has been split into two shorter buildings. The space between the two Lab buildings has been used to create a women’s only plaza focused on collaborative interactions.

Forming a spine down the center of the campus with the classroom and lab buildings on each side is a curving and undulating structure housing the shared campus amenities, such as shared dining facilities, central library and student activity spaces including a gymnasium. The curving spine building roof starts at the northwest over the large, shared auditorium and terminates at the southeast part of the campus where it wraps up and onto the Dental Building, more firmly linking the Dental Building with the rest of the campus.
