Residential in Visitacion Valley
Robin Chiang & Company (RCCo) was hired by the San Francisco Planning Department to sketch the potential character of streetscapes in a development on the Schlage Lock property located in the Visitacion Valley neighborhood in San Francisco.
Some of the architectural notions include parking garages wrapped in retail or residential at ground level; building walls with punched windows (vertical shapes to suggest human proportions); building walls with protrusions (awnings, balconies, stoops) to denote habitation or occupancy; streets with extended curbs, planters, landscaping and ornamental fixtures to delight pedestrians.
