385 Sherman
Palo Alto, CA
The architectural project at 385 Sherman Ave in downtown Palo Alto, CA, stands as a testament to modern urban living and sustainable design.
With the demolition of an existing one-story building, a new three-story mixed-use structure emerged, comprising office spaces and residential units atop two levels of sub-grade parking. The building's sleek exterior, adorned with metal panels and wood accents, catches the eye while blending seamlessly into the urban landscape.
Notably, the project achieved LEED Gold certification, incorporating drought-resistant landscaping and expansive glass curtain walls to maximize natural light and scenic views. A key architectural feature is the digital art.
Project Highlights:
LEED Gold Certification: The project achieved LEED Gold certification, showcasing its commitment to sustainable design and environmental responsibility.
City of Palo Alto Public Art: We worked directly with design team on incorporating into the tips of the airfoil sunshades the LED lighting system to make Tabula. Charles Gadeken and D.V. Rogers created Tabula which displays information about the world around us and below our feet. Mounted along two walls of the Visa building, the dynamic artwork interprets an open and live seismic data feed made public by the United States Geological Survey, creating an illuminated display of seismic light on geographical images.
