Design Tour: Park Alameda

The Park Alameda project transformed an infamously blighted and crime ridden 1970’s
motel, located in downtown Alameda, into 62 units of affordable workforce
housing. The project included a radical redesign of the facade, complete
renovation of the living units, and the addition of two new buildings and a
courtyard where a deteriorated parking lot was once located. The project
achieved a high green point rating through an overhaul of the MEP systems, cool
roofs, a rooftop solar thermal system, sun shades, low flow plumbing fixtures,
and energy efficient lighting. The metal sun shades, guardrails, sculptural
metal bays and polycarbonite siding at the exterior stair break up the massing
of the monolithic building volume and enliven streetscape. Vibrant colors and
materials transform this project into a new downtown landmark.
