DESCRIPTION
The Sunnydale community, originally built as a visionary housing solution for wartime ship builders, is now a dilapidated assembly of disconnected buildings. Its leftover spaces are difficult to police and difficult to access. The new Sunnydale will be redeveloped incrementally to create a network of streets that connect with the surrounding neighborhood; create a variety of housing types for a mix of incomes and provide carefully scaled park spaces and recreational opportunities lined with public facilities. Principles of sustainable “green” development for the neighborhood and greater community will be integral to this transformation.
VISION
Redesign Sunnydale into a mix of uses typical of other San Francisco neighborhoods, including housing, services, community facilities, open space, and neighborhood-serving retail.
PROJECT REQUIREMENTS
To replace all existing public housing units with minimal displacement and to reintegrate the community to the greater neighborhood.
Design Features
- Replacement of Housing Authority units plus added for sale & for rent affordable units
- Reintegration into surrounding community
- Provide a range of community services including retail, recreational and supportive
- Private outdoor space for units
