2021 Excelsior Street Furniture Project

February 04, 2021 by Reed Davaz McGowan

Wood, Metal, Tile, drought resistant planting
Dimensions: 5’4” Width x 19’6” Length x  7’ Height
Year Completed: 2021
Commissioning Agency: San Francisco Planning: Ground Play

The Youth Architecture Firm class had the unique opportunity of designing and building an urban street/sidewalk installation in the Excelsior neighborhood. During the design phase of the project, students led a community outreach process and determined an appropriate response to neighborhood input. They developed their own design ideas through drawing, modeling, and full-size mock-ups. Ultimately, they are in the process of building street furniture that incorporates lighting, seating and greenery for 3 sites on Mission Street as a pilot for permanent street furniture.
