31 Fairmount Street:  This San Francisco home in the Glenn Park District reflects the forms and traditions of its neighbors while still maintaining a contemporary flair.  The carefully crafted open deck at the second floor entry provides private open space on a public street.  A handsome solution on a small and difficult site.

2740 Mission Street:  A new restaurant fronting on a busy commercial section of Mission Street  will include an enclosed patio at the rear of the existing building.

 

200 Granville Drive, San Francisco:  This single family home in the West Portal District was renovated and enlarged by excavating under the existing house into the hillside.  A new kitchen featured Ikea cabinets.

This project in Rio Vista next to the Sacramento River is in the early design stages and  will transform an existing residential hotel into a much needed assisted living  facility.   An addition to the existing building will feature a childcare center to bring the sights and sounds of children to residents.

High overlooking San Francisco Bay this  new single family 3 bedroom, 3-1/2 bath home with additional au-pair quarters on the lower level replaces a home lost in the Oakland Hills fire. While open to the views,  there are intimate introspective spaces as well.   The design include collaboration with a noted feng-shui consultant to create a harmonious relationship with the earth, sky, and water.  Antique and new furniture was selected to compliment the new spaces.  The home is approximately 4,000 SF.   

Damage from the Loma Prieta Earthquake of 1989 forced The Archdiocese of San Francisco to seek temporary housing for St. Mary’s Chinese School.  Mock/Wallace assisted in the search for a new site for the school. 

The historic Our Lady of Guadalupe Church above the Broadway tunnel was vacant and available and we determined it would be suitable.  Given a new purpose as a temporary location for the School, the sanctuary and community room was converted into nine classrooms, offices, library and new toilets.  The historic interiors including the altar and chapels were preserved for a future restoration.   Work included seismic upgrade, historic preservation, and appearances before the SF Planning Commission and State Landmarks Board. 

 

Techspace at 2500 Potrero Street is San Francisco was conceived as temporary start-up space for high tech companies with the infrastructure and connectivity needed.  Mock/Wallace completed the seismic upgrade of this existing warehouse and was the Architect of Record for the Tenant Improvements.

 

Formerly the site of Lowell High School, the buildings are now part of the John Adams Campus of City College of San Francisco.  The existing gym was largely unused and the basement which had showers and workshops was vacant.  After a seismic upgrade, the gymnasium was renovated and with a new elevator, the basement level was usable and new classrooms were possible.  The elevator also extended to the gym mezzanine seating area.

A new accessible entry ramp and canopy was installed at the main entrance.  New and existing toilets were made accessible.

As part of a seismic upgrade to the gymnasium, large shear panels needed to be installed on two sides of the building.  In the two photos above, the left photos shows the original appearance of the building.  The photo on the right above and the center photo below show the new shear panels.  The concrete shear panels were covered with decorative ceramic tiles.
