Together with our environmental engineering partner Atelier Ten the Transbay design culminated in a globally unique proposition. Pelli Clarke Pelli hired Except to jointly develop the conceptual design and the environmental concept. The environmental concerns were considerable, the development time short, and the stakes high. The transbay competition revolved around the replacement of the existing Transbay transportation hub, and the creation of a signature tower for the city of San Francisco.

On September 20th 2007, the TJPA competition panel announced that we had won the competition in favor of Skidmore Owens & Merril and Richard Rogers. We worked with architecture office Pelli Clarke Pelli on conceptual design, presentation and visualization, made the case for a true ecological rooftop park, and won in 2007.įinally, the world will be able to see that a rooftop park can be more than potted plants and a lonely olive tree, and become a true ecological entity, providing spatial quality, health benefits, economic value and biodiversity.
The Transbay terminal redevelopment was one of the largest architectural competitions to be held in the past decade. It was renamed the 'Salesforce Park' in 2017, and completed in 2019. The project started in 2006, we won the competition in 2007, construction started in 2010. Biodiversity, health, and sustainability are key in this example of progressive urban renewal. The project features innovations such as water and air purification, ecosystem services, biodiversity boosters, and adds an exhilarating new green space in the city.
