Blue Oak Landing

Vallejo CA | Completed 

2023

This project sets a new bar for performance, resourcefulness, and connection to place for permanent supportive housing in the Bay Area. The all-electric affordable building—on track for zero energy—was built with modular technology to streamline delivery of much-needed homes for unhoused residents near downtown Vallejo.

Located just north of downtown Vallejo, Blue Oak Landing provides 75 supportive apartments in two four-story buildings linked by open-air circulation across a shared courtyard.

A ground-floor services suite includes property management, case management, and social assistance for residents. The new community also offers a computer learning center, library, community room with a fully equipped kitchen, laundry facilities, courtyard with shared planting beds, and secure indoor bicycle parking—including electric bicycle charging.

In a focused bid to speed provision of much-needed housing, this project was built with modules fabricated by Factory_OS, a local factory on Mare Island, just three miles from the site in Vallejo.

The distinctive sawtooth design is set off by articulated, perforated weathering-steel panels, created by local shop BOK Modern. 

The resilient design includes measures to mitigate water and energy use, including heat pump heating and cooling and centralized heat pump water heating.
