Scotchhollow is an existing 418-unit family apartment community built in the early 1970s, where the owner is seeking to upgrade the development to more modern standards of living to attract a changing demographic on the San Francisco peninsula.
Our proposed improvements looked at replacing the existing community center with a larger one that accomodates more amenities, creating more direct paths through the landscape, adding programmatic elements to unactivated lawn areas, orienting the front door of ground floor units towards common areas rather than interior corridors, improving lighting throughout the site, upgrading the look of carports, and adding access points between the community and the park next door.
