Institute on Aging Senior Facilities
San Francisco, California

This new project encompasses transitional housing for the elderly, daycare for adults (primary Alzheimer's patients), education and fundraising, and community outreach functions. A glass-enclosed courtyard houses a water feature, planters containing large-timber black bamboo, embedded boulders and seating. Separate pedestrian entries serve residents and drop-in clients. Exterior plazas are sheltered from elements and provide engaging outdoor areas.
