500 Folsom.

The tower anchors the project and is articulated as a series of “maisonettes” that echo the scale of podium and neighborhood’s industrial brick buildings, a history echoed in the red terracotta accents integrated into the architecture of volumes and voids of the podium.

The tower features a glass curtain wall with shading fins, which reduce solar heat gain and give the tower a sense of both transparency and opacity depending on viewing angles and time of day.

An outdoor, “urban living room,” activated by retail, and an open air “paseo” linking Folsom Street with the Underpass Park beyond extends the pedestrian realm in and through the site.
