Amenity Deck
Petersen Studio is collaborating with HKS on a 437-unit residential high-rise project at 24th and Harrison near Lake Merritt in downtown Oakland.
The landscape centerpiece of the project is the 35K SF podium Amenity Deck integrating a large pool deck with 80’ lap pool, an amenity pavilion surrounded by generous indoor/outdoor wood decks and terraces that encourage outdoor exercise and socializing, a large multi-use lawn for events and passive recreation, and intimate garden rooms, all interwoven within a framework of colorful 4-season gardens. A cantilevered shade structure wraps the amenity pavilion and extends along the edge of the pool deck, providing a band of architectural shade that complements the informal drift of flowering shade trees. A perimeter tree frame along the walls of the L-shaped tower combines with a linear bamboo scrim the along the edge of the windowless adjacent development to create dramatic vertical garden containment, and subtle grade changes heighten views while provide shelter from cool breezes.
