    Forum Description

    Avalon Dogpatch
    800 Indiana Street, San Francisco, 94107

    Separated from the rest of San Francisco by Mission Bay and Potrero Hill, the Dogpatch Neighborhood developed an identity apart from San Francisco. This working waterfront was a center for steel fabrication, ship building and a host of other heavy industries, with a neighborhood of modest workers cottages and its heart.

    Through cycles of boom and bust Dogpatch has constantly evolved over the years. As heavy industry declined it became a haven for craftspeople, artist and smaller scale production, including the scene workshop and store house for the San Francisco Opera located in a former steel fabrication plant at the foot of Potrero Hill.

    The development team for this challenge site brought together three strong design firms - PYATOK, Mithun and Kennerly Architecture - to create a new residential community that would reflect that vitality and rich history of the neighborhood. Working closely with the Dogpatch Neighborhood Associations the three firms developed a design parti composed of three distinct buildings; an E-shaped building tucked against the freeway on the north, a curved courtyard building along the old railroad spur on the south, and a pair of linear buildings linking the two, all linked by a serrated circulation spine that provided an acoustic buffer along the raised freeway. Within this framework, each firm developed a distinct architectural expression reflecting aspects of the Dogpatch character.

    The north building, designed by Mithun, is a sturdy brick structure with deep recessed windows, barrel shaped roof and projecting steel balconies that feels right at home among the surviving brick warehouses.

    The corrugated clad central building by PYATOK expresses the strong horizontal elements of later industrial buildings, with two-story ground floor stoops patterned on the raised loading dock along the old railroad spurs.

    The south building by Kennerly Architecture takes advantage of the curve of an abandoned railroad spur to create an idiosyncratic form clad in corten steel that recalls both the utilitarian and artistic traditions of the neighborhood.

    At the street level, the three distinct buildings work together create an active neighborhood edge, with four main entries, multiple openings to interior courtyards, stoops, sitting areas and a new public dog park under the 20th Street overpass.
