Hunters View Redevelopment
Our design for two new blocks of affordable family housing at Hunters View is part of the first phase of San Francisco’s ambitious HOPE SF program, a plan to revitalize the worst of San Francisco’s crime-ridden and forgotten low-income neighborhoods.
With a mix of affordable and market-rate housing, the Hunters View Redevelopment is being completed in three phases in order to allow the existing residents to remain in the neighborhood. Our work on Phase 1 included 53 units on blocks 5 & 6. The units were designed as stacked townhomes with buildings stepping down the steep streets, in patterns typical of traditional San Francisco row housing. Four buildings surround two mid-block courtyards that provide shared and secure open space. Hunters View was certified LEED for Neighborhood Development (LEED ND) and the buildings are GreenPoint rated.
