New renderings have been published for the two affordable housing projects at 200 Folsom Street in the East Cut, San Francisco. Amended plans for Transbay Block 2 are scheduled for a public review by the city’s Planning Commission for next week on December 1st. As well, new building permits have now been filed for the 17-story Transbay Block 2 East, being developed by Mercy Housing. Transbay Block 2 West is being developed by the Chinatown Community Development Center.

...

Kennerly Architecture & Planning is responsible for the design, with Y.A. Studios as the associate architect. For the facade’s material, the studio takes inspiration from Hills Bros. Coffee Plant along the Embarcadero, completed in 1878. The overall massing, by contrast, looks to the Crown Zellerbach Building designed by SOM in 1959, the first modernist curtainwall building in the city.

Illustrations show a granite grid rising from above the curtainwall retail base at the corner of Folsom and Main Street up to the 17-story pinnacle. From the highrise pinnacle facing Folsom, the structure is tapered down from 17 to 15, culminating in a five-story front facing the Block 3 park.
