THE AMELIA This 36 unit condominium project was the result of a design competition by the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency. The Western Addition site had seen many unsuccessful proposals and local community groups were heavily involved in its planning goals. The ground level consists of a shopping arcade stepping down along Fillmore Street with a sloped parking garage behind. This ground level concrete structure forms the base upon which the wood framed residential units are constructed. A second building in the interior defines a walkway and major open space on the second level. The landscaped walkway is the organizing element of the project. Unit entries are located along the walkway which in turn lead to private entry patios and decks. The design provides each unit with a unique identity, private entrance, cross ventilation for the units, views, and a high level of security. |
