Adaptive Re-Use

Re-use of existing buildings is a form of building recycling.

355 Bryant Lofts
A conversion of a historic warehouse into a use not even imaginable by its original builders: lofts for the live+work postindustrial lifestyle.

601 Fourth Street Lofts
A former wine warehouse finessed into 85 live-work loft spaces, with seismic and aesthetic upgrades that just take the edge off the industrial space.

Clock Tower Lofts
A thoughtful modern reevaluation brings this 1907 landmark into the 21st Century. Home of the DB+P office.

Emeryville Warehouse Lofts
Part reclaimed fruit-drying warehouse, part new construction, Emeryville Warehouse Lofts are lined at street level by a pedestrian colonnade with retail spaces and topped by a series of two-level townhouses.

Marquee Lofts
Just north of City Hall and the San Francisco Opera House, 53 residential lofts are located on the 4th through 8th floors of the building.

Mission Garden Apartment

Pacific Cannery Lofts
Located at the edge of the emerging Central Station neighborhood of West Oakland, Pacific Cannery Lofts is an adaptive reuse of a historic cannery as a diverse collection of studios, flats and loft townhouses around three towering open-air courts.

San Francisco Bar Pilots
The renovation of a cargo pier into the headquarters for the S.F. Bar Pilots, who guide the ships through the Golden Gate.

Shotwell Compound
David Baker's home and studio: upstairs modest quarters flank a sun-filled great room that extends onto a glass deck; downstairs houses a private apartment and an art space that opens to the street.

StoreFrontLab
A laboratory for the urban pedestrian storefront experience.

Tassafaronga Village
Bridging an industrial-residential border, this new Oakland village features a wide range of LEED Platinum housing and repairs the deteriorated street grid.
