anishing Boundaries: A Cohesive Symphony of Building and Landscape Unveiled! 🌿✨ Welcome to post #7 of our series on the mixed-use development in San Francisco's hilly area! Today, we delve into the key concept that defines the essence of our building: a harmonious integration with its lush surrounding context. Over time, our building evolves, becoming enveloped by the abundant vegetation that thrives in the area. The vision is for nature to overflow and invade the roofscape, blurring the boundaries between the built environment and the natural landscape. This intentional design approach creates cohesiveness, where the building and the surrounding landscape seamlessly intertwine. The verdant tendrils that embrace the rooftop not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also establish a profound connection to the environment, fostering a sense of tranquility and unity.
