With the fourth and final phase of Trinity Place complete, the development surrounds a one-acre green space that connects to a grand public plaza with a pedestrian pass-through linking Mission Street and Market Street. The architecture reinforces the idea of a tightly formatted template of components with staggered setbacks, cascading shifts in roof height, materials, and types of fenestration, all to make the building blocks appear more complex and varied than they actually are. The composition changes personality from one building to the next giving the illusion of separate blocks merging into a single larger structure. The voids between the buildings and the introduction of significant public space act like portal openings on every side to let the city flow through and create a pedestrian experience for everyone, not just tenants. All four buildings are pushed to the perimeter of the site to allow the maximum space for the public plaza within. Named “Plaza Angelo” after the late developer, it features a surreal mix of rugged marble figures, seating areas, and an undulating greensward and public pathways. The centerpiece is a 92-foot-tall sculpture, a Venus de Milo in swirling stainless steel, by the artist Lawrence Argent. 📸 Jeff Howard, Mike Kelley, courtesy Trinity #design #architecture #architectureforall #sanfrancisco #engineering #missionstreet #residential #trinityplace #plazaangelo #inspiration #designarchitecture #neighborhood #revitalization #archidaily #archilovers #arquitectura #arquitectonica
