Collaborating with the San Francisco Giants and the Port of San Francisco, I helped craft a public realm design concept for the 27-acre mixed-use waterfront redevelopment project in San Francisco's Mission Bay. The design centers around a network of unique open spaces and vibrant pedestrian-focused streets, shaping the character of the future neighborhood.
I contributed to the development of Dr. Maya Angelou Lane, the primary thoroughfare that serves as an engaging, pedestrian-oriented shared street connecting the waterfront to the district's core. Purposefully designed as a curb-less street to promote interaction, it invites diverse ground-floor activities, encouraging both residents and visitors to linger. I collaborated with female minority-owned design firms to create four Street Rooms—outdoor living spaces that facilitate distinctive interactions among place, art, history, and people. The designers, selected through a community stakeholder committee competition, include Min Design, 100architects, Terrain Work, and Oyler Wu Collaborative.
The public spaces of Mission Rock will revolve around a regional waterfront park and neighborhood square. Channel Wharf will serve both maritime functions and public bay access, while a distinctive working waterfront street, the terminus of Terry A Francois Boulevard, will connect to active piers and offer pedestrian and bicycle access to the Blue Greenway/Bay Trail.
