Marina Plaza

Marina Plaza will be a new mixed-use development with a public plaza, boutique hotel, multi-family housing, restaurant and retail spaces on 5.16 acres of land. The site currently houses a typical suburban strip mall with an anchor grocery store surrounded by retail spaces and extensive surface parking. The site’s owner of thirty years wants to update and optimize the site by replacing it with an inclusive mixed-use, community-centered development.

Eddy + Taylor Family Housing

Eddy + Taylor Apartments is a half-acre-urban infill project that transforms an existing surface parking lot into a new 8-story, high density building with 113 affordable units for families in the Tenderloin District of San Francisco. As a transit-oriented development with easy access to public transportation and community amenities, the project offers secured bicycle parking and no car parking.

Fernan Lake Residence

Perched on a hill with southern lake views and ideally situated for passive solar design, this home is expected to be the first Passive House in Northern Idaho. Construction assemblies include concrete slab on grade over 12" of EPS foam, 12" SIPS panels with 2x4 interior service cavity, 24" roof trusses with "flash 'n batt" (high-density spray foam with blown-in fiberglass), and super-high-performing triple-pane European windows. 

Pacific Collegiate School

Pacific Collegiate School (PCS) is a college preparatory public charter school whose mission is to provide a rigorous academic curriculum with a focus in the arts and languages. As a public school, PCS is free and open to all. The school was recently named 25th best high school school in the nation by U.S. & News Report, and top charter school in California. 

South Lake Tahoe Passive House

The future homeowners of what's expected to be the first Passive House in South Lake Tahoe are currently weekend warriors who head up to Tahoe when they can spare time from their busy lives in the Bay Area. They look forward to full-time residence in Tahoe once their new home, an Angora Fire rebuild, is completed in 2014. Sitting near the flanks of Mt. Tallac, their new homestead will be perfectly placed for regular excursions into the mountains.

Avena Bella

This new affordable housing community consists of eight Mediterranean-style buildings, a mix of garden-style walk-up apartments and double-loaded corridor buildings. It also includes a community center, pool, and computer lab with after school support for youth. It features generous green and open space areas, including a community garden and strategically placed trees that will help shade both indoor and outdoor living spaces.

Carmel Passive House

Winning Best New Home of 2013 and labeled “Passive House Perfection” by Fine Homebuilding, this 1600-square foot farmhouse achieves the highest performance standards without sacrificing aesthetic standards. The owners “learned that good design and modern aesthetics were compatible with the kind of energy we were seeking and we couldn’t be more pleased.”

Rene Cazenave Apartments

The first of the Transbay Redevelopment Area projects, this urban infill supportive housing project was completed in 2013 and serves as a gateway to the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency's vision of a new "main street" along Folsom Street. We were part of the GreenPoint Rater Multifamily team along with Sage Green Development.
