Milpitas Towncenter

Milpitas Town Center
Milpitas, California
This mixed use project will create a new downtown for Milpitas, a dense urban fabric with Civic and Community buildings, commercial and retail areas mixed with single and multi-family residential. With the Civic Center as the core, the design concept of Milpitas Town Center evolved as a three-layered street system. The inner circle is the Civic/Formal Street, a central main thoroughfare is the Main Street with commercial/street retail with residences above, and a Residential Street with low rise and single-family homes towards the creek and open space.

Fremont, California

The vision for the project was to celebrate the cultural diversity of Fremont by creating an eclectic neighborhood block reflective of the population, in a contextual architectural style, while creating a sense of community and a project identity using rich and unique landscaping.

The project includes four attached single family Townhomes facing the residential district and a 2,000sf veterinary office with two residential units above facing the commercial district. Parking for the office is provided in between the two buildings. The architectural style of the buildings is in a vernacular California style to complement the style of the existing residential buildings. The massing was intentionally developed to create a residential feel along Second Street and a commercial appearance along Mission Street.

Best Western  

Best Western Expansion & Renovation
West Sacramento, California
The expansion and remodel of this 138 room Hotel located in West Sacramento included a new restaurant, a new bar, new porte cochere with new entrance lobby and managers' offices. The biggest challenge was to connect and harmonize three separate buildings built over time into a single entity. Several architectural elements were added to carry a harmonious theme on the exterior elevations. The central courtyard was completely redesigned with water fountain and gazebo to make it pleasant and more user friendly.

 
City Center Plaza

City Center Plaza
South San Francisco, California
Located in the City Center, across from the old historic City Hall building, this 31,000 sf building had a full level of basement, street level retail and 2 levels of office above. The complete remodel of these 2 adjoining mixed use buildings included "as built" set, demo set, design set, master signage package, and CD set. Taking inspiration from the historic City Hall building, the exterior facade was enhanced to its original glory. New yet classic color scheme with new trim and window detailing together with blade signs and awnings over doors urbanized the street facade creating a timeless masterpiece.
