 Sidewalk Plaza
Public Architecture's open space strategy focuses on San Francisco's South of Market Area, but offers insights into other urban areas nationwide.
 17th and Castro Plaza
Public Architecture led the design of a pedestrian plaza which reclaimed an underutilized portion of the existing streetscape to create neighborhood open space.
 Accessory Dwelling Unit
Public Architecture's interest in Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) is buttressed by newly-revised California legislation encouraging ADU development.
 Day Labor Station
Public Architecture is interested in the design, planning, and social justice issues raised by day laborer gathering places.
 ScrapHouse
Public Architecture led the design and construction of "ScrapHouse," a temporary demonstration home, built entirely of salvaged material.
 Design for Reuse Primer
Public Architecture is leading a two-year research project, funded by the USGBC, which seeks to identify, analyze, and alleviate barriers to material reuse.
 TAF Community Learning Space
Public Architecture is involved with the design and construction of a high-tech nonprofit headquarters and community center in King County, Wash., which integrates reused materials.
 KIPP Schools Model Facilities Guide
Public Architecture is producing a comprehensive facilities design document for KIPP's national network of schools.
 United Way Spark Point Center
Public Architecture is the conceptual design lead for the United Way Bay Area's first Spark Point Center, an 8,000 square foot, one-stop prosperity hub in East Oakland.

DESIGN INITIATIVES / FEE FOR SERVICE
Conceived as an opportunity to put architects in the position of problem identifier, rather than just problem solver, Public Architecture has spearheaded nine public-interest design projects.
These projects typically combine a prototypical design with advocacy efforts to tackle an issue of broad social relevance.
