Wilshire Collection rectangles WR-962424
Sometimes more is not less. For the Avalon Apartments at Mission Bay in San Francisco, PGADesign went for a simple Wilshire Collection fiberglass (frp) rectangle for the accent planters along the street fronts of this glass curtainwall building. By using the 24″x24″ profile, the architect gave the unit enough “punch” to make a statement in this fast-developing section of San Francisco. The planters were installed by Valleycrest Landscape, the same folks that installed the planters in the last post, 211 Main. More images after the break.
Custom-cut planters sized for the columns
Street view - Planters needed to be large to have an impact
The planters were set on rock - aesthetics, but practical, too (drainage)
