SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL
AIRPORT LONG TERM PARKING GARAGE 2

This Design Build building and site for San Francisco International Airport has retail at the ground level and six levels of 3,500 parking spaces.   

AWA collaborated closely with the architecture team and SFO/FAA Airport Guidelines.  We provided a landscape architecture solution that not only compliments the geometricts of the new building, but also includes the following educational features:

  • xeriscape garden

  • reduced pollinator garden in order to limit bird habitat attraction (reduce bird and plane accidents).

  • bioswales to cleanse water before it enters the Bay

AWA's initial programming design was to achieve a world class destination with a vertical landscape in the plaza.  Upon scaling back, the team redesigned the garage which necessitated AWA to aesthetically design and place a "Zen Garden" boulders and plants due to the extreme circumstances of extreme low light levels and vehicular exhaust.

Our design is contemporary, made up of simple geometric lines and curves.  Curved and straight planters surround the users in a serene space.  These materials function as raised planters for shrubs and grasses on Level 2, creating a usable and interesting open space for the residents while also filtering stormwater runoff.  We have three main function areas.  One, a community gathering space surrounded by trees at grade level.  Two, Rectangular tables, chairs and benches are close by the children's play area.  Three, a playground area of play surfacing of mounds, nestle a climbing and train play structures.  The "train" play structure pays homage to the Iron Horse historic train line nearby.

Street level trees and stormwater planters greet users with a corner entry of metal weathering planters to match the historic industrial heritage.  Lush plants climb to the trellis and envelope a mini plaza.
