The Cove
The studio was invited to support the client, Earthprise and HPP with their submission to the RFP for the rehabilitation of Piers 30 – 32 released by the Port of San Francisco. The client was required to submit a financial offer and model for the future development of the Piers, supported with a high level vision of the site. Pier 30 – 32 situated along the Embarcadero on the seafront in San Francisco. The site is currently used as a carpark with 1,000 space. Occasionally the site is used for recreational events such as volley ball tours and X games (extreme ports). The eastern edge is still intermittently used as a deep-water berth, for berthing for Navy ships. The Cove is a new destination for this often overlooked stretch of the Embarcadero, a steppingstone between the hubs of Oracle Park to the South and the Ferry Building to the North. On approach, the first things you notice are the gentle ebb and flow of the roof line of the new buildings, and a new sculpture just set back from the promenade draws your attention to the covered entry. Walking over the bridge you pass a stand selling flowers and the smell of fresh ground coffee greets you before emerging into The Cove.
