Carter Terrace
San Francisco, CA

The Carter Terrace development consists of 101 affordable family housing units on a 3.3 acre site developed for Mercy Housing California and funded by the San Francisco Mayor’s Office of Housing and by State Tax Credits. The design utilizes walk-up type units organized around a system of on site ‘streets’ and open spaces accommodating the steeply sloping site and setting a precedent for further development in the area. Glazed bays create well-lit interior spaces and transparency providing a contemporary translation of a traditional San Francisco neighborhood. Common facilities such as community meeting rooms and offices for staff are included.
