Located two blocks from City Hall, and around the corner from rapidly-evolving Hayes Valley, this four-story center packs a rich, mixed-use program into a compact site while balancing critical concerns around access, security, fiscal restraint, and urban context. Inside, a two-story glazed atrium surrounding an open central stair provides ample visibility and safety while putting the array of clubhouse offerings — including a gym, swimming pool, music studio, game room, maker studio, dance studio, kitchen, teen room, and multipurpose classrooms — directly in front of kids. The corporate offices of the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco are consolidated on the top two floors with outdoor decks. The building’s exterior — an understated but rich composition of concrete, glass, stucco and wood slats — connect the clubhouse to the neighborhood, exposing the diverse activity within while protecting privacy at street level.
