South Block
Estimated Completion Winter 2007

The project is located at 6th and ‘G’ Streets in Downtown San Diego.  It is a 106 unit mixed use project, and one of the few rental projects being developed in the city.  The structure is cast in place concrete with in fill glazing.  The project makes use of a floating sun tempering element that sets out from the face of the building on the west side and is suspended over the sidewalk below.  It is, in essence, a second window system partially covered with photographic translucent film.  Both the glass of the building skin itself, and this outer hanging element will receive the film.  Every ten years, a photographic artist will be commissioned to tell a new story on the building.
