We are shining a spotlight on the Rene Cazenave Apartments. Completed in 2014, 120-unit supportive housing community provides homes for low-income and formerly homeless individuals, along with resident services and spaces designed to foster connection and support.

The seven-story building includes common areas, service spaces, a resident lounge, laundry facilities, property management offices, open space, and ground-floor retail. The project is GreenPoint Rated and has received the 2016 AIA National COTE Top 10 Award, 2015 AIA San Francisco Design Award – Citation for Architecture as well as many other awards.

A project centered on affordability, community, and housing.

Exteriors are an essential part of the built environment and the framework of a community. Facades play a vital role in shaping the streetscape, creating inviting spaces that encourage connection, activity, and engagement. Through materiality, color, scale, and form, buildings contribute to the identity and character of a neighborhood, influencing how people experience and interact with the places they call home.

At SSDP, we view the exteriors as an opportunity to strengthen a building’s relationship with its surroundings. Facades not only enhance the visual quality of a project but also help create a sense of place, fostering vibrant, welcoming communities that reflect the people who live within them.

Here we have selected a collection of projects with exterior projects that we believe have aided the communities around them.

Happy Juneteenth from SSDP!

May 7th marked the one year anniversary of the grand opening of the Santa Rosa Cannery in Santa Rosa, California. The project added 129 units ranging from studios to two bedrooms to the area of Santa Rosa. It also created new outdoor space and a new public promenade to connect the Santa Rosa bike and pedestrian path and Historic Railroad Square. The Cannery showcases the thoughtful ways historical elements can be preserved and integrated into new development.

The project maintained the site’s original brick masonry, water tower, and metal canopy, honoring the sites industrial history. We are proud that the project received the Excellence in Construction Award from the North Bay Business Journal and was recognized as the “Best North Bay Residential Project.”

Cheers to Santa Rosa Cannery’s one year old birthday! 🎉
