About | The Santa Ana Marketplace Building works efficiently to create the maximum user experience with a minimal site impact. The essential design is created from a compacted “Marseille Housing Block” floorplan, drastically reducing wasted circulation space within the tower block, and allowing amazing double-height units that span the entire width of the tower. These double-height units are joined into three groups, and placed atop a commercial space designed to house a grocery store.
For the site, the grocery store is massive. With over 10,000 sqft of highly usable space, this grocery store is the size of a typical intercity Trader Joe’s. This is a huge amenity, since our project focuses on walkability / bikeability and the neighborhood is a food desert.
Moving upwards, the podium hosts a large shared greenspace embracing an “eyes on the street” mentality, so a parent would feel comfortable letting their younger child play unaccompanied in the podium park, knowing that they will be within sight.
The rooftop is oriented to maximize sun exposure with a huge potential for on-site photovoltaic generation. Units on the south side of the structure have large vertical louvering systems to prevent overt heat gain, and many of the units have operable north-facing skylights to allow greater natural light and passive cooling opportunities.
The entire building is wrapped in layers of bushy greenery, creating a vertical garden within the mass-timber latticework of the building’s facade system.
