Market Street Village – Mixed-Use Residential Development

San Diego, California

Design of a mixed-use development located in Downtown San Diego within the Center City Development Corporation (CCDC) Planned Development Ordinance (PDO) area, subject to specific regulatory and design guidelines. The project responds to site constraints, including designated sun access corridors and height limitations that influence overall massing and building form.

The architectural design organizes the building mass to create the appearance of a neighborhood-scale environment rather than a singular monolithic structure, aligning with CCDC design criteria and urban design objectives.

The existing site includes 23 Single Room Occupancy (SRO) units, which were preserved and integrated into the proposed design as part of the project’s affordable housing component. The development maintains this use while enhancing the overall residential offering.

The above-grade portions of the parking structure are concealed through the integration of retail spaces and SRO units along the building frontage, improving the pedestrian experience and reinforcing an active, street-level presence.

Camden Tuscany – Mixed-Use Residential Development

San Diego, California

Design of a mixed-use, award-winning development consisting of 160 residential units and approximately 12,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. The project is located in the Little Italy neighborhood of downtown San Diego and occupies an entire city block with both street and rail frontage.

The development is composed of five- and six-story residential buildings constructed above two levels of subterranean parking. The design organizes the project as a collection of smaller, distinct building elements to create the appearance of a neighborhood rather than a single large-scale structure. This approach responds to the project’s scale and helps integrate the development into the surrounding historic context.

A key design objective was to break down the overall building mass into smaller vertical components, incorporating varied color palettes, roof forms, and architectural detailing to create visual interest and a sense of individuality across the site. The architectural language blends modern elements at the building corners with influences drawn from Iberian and Italian village architecture, establishing a cohesive Italian Riviera-inspired character throughout the development.

The design also responds to planning constraints, including sun access corridors, view corridors, and other Community Plan and Planned District Ordinance requirements. Additional features include balconies and rooftop terraces with integrated planters and trellises, enhancing the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces while contributing to the project’s overall architectural identity.

Camden Harbor View – Mixed-Use Waterfront Development

Long Beach, California

Design of a large-scale mixed-use development consisting of approximately 1.5 million square feet, including 538 residential units and ground-floor retail components. The project spans two city blocks and represents the first phase of a broader master plan encompassing four blocks within the historic downtown waterfront district.

The development is composed of four-story and nine-story buildings constructed over multiple levels of parking (one to three levels, depending on location). The site addresses significant design challenges, including grade changes along the south ocean-facing edge, as well as view corridors, height restrictions, and massing constraints.

The architectural concept establishes a cohesive urban fabric that extends the existing city grid while drawing inspiration from coastal village and harbor-town typologies. The design incorporates elements of Tuscan, Iberian, Italian Riviera, and Art Deco influences, resulting in a layered architectural language that reflects the character of the surrounding downtown context. The taller tower elements are designed as prominent gateways, each incorporating heliport access as required by fire department regulations.

A key design strategy was to break down the overall massing into smaller, individually articulated building components. Each unit stack is expressed as a distinct architectural element, enhanced through the use of varied color palettes, balconies, shutters, brackets, and roof forms. This approach reinforces the appearance of a neighborhood-scale environment rather than a single large development.

The central clubhouse and tower element are positioned as a focal point, designed to function as a community hub and visual anchor for the project. Public and semi-public spaces are connected through pedestrian promenades, stairs, and ramps, providing access between upper and lower levels, including connections to Sea Side Way.

Additional amenities include pool decks, spas, and outdoor gathering areas designed for relaxation, recreation, and social interaction. The integration of architecture, landscape, and circulation creates a vibrant, pedestrian-oriented environment that enhances both the residential experience and the surrounding urban context.

Camden Harbor View delivers a cohesive waterfront community that blends diverse architectural influences with thoughtful urban design, creating a dynamic and enduring mixed-use destination.
