Excavation work is underway for the 16-story mixed-use building at 555 Bryant Street in SoMa, San Francisco. While facade installation has started for the nearby offices, the same contractor is working on the foundation of what will become 501 new homes close to Caltrain Station and the Central Subway line. Strada Investment Group is responsible for the development.

The distinctive design that will soon occupy the site comes from Solomon Cordwell Buenz. Its clean white exterior will be clad with oscillating three-story sawtooth bay windows. The organic topology is part of a trend in local vernacular, with another notable example including MIRA by Studio Gang. The H-shaped floorplans will create a dense bulk of housing from the 0.75-acre property, with a natural light well and open air for residences and two shared podium-top courtyards.

Plural is the project’s landscape architect. The studio writes that the building is crowned by a “large garden space with a variety of rooms carved out of lush raised planters. The rooms offer a range of amenities and atmospheres from intimate spaces lit by glowing fireplaces to an outdoor game room, outdoor bars, outdoor dining and lounge spaces.” Additional work by Plural includes three internal courtyards and improvements to the streetscape.
