Project Overview:
While the office buildings at Embarcadero Center displayed resiliency through the pandemic, the labyrinthine retail-oriented podiums remain beset with vacancies. Two such suites were stitched together to create Mosaic, a conference center and tenant amenity suite. Mosaic is an intersection of public and private, business and social, casual and formal. The architecture’s materiality and form reflect that dialogue: sumptuous textures against stark swaths of concrete; soft, billowing forms meet clean lines; diffused daylight contrasts soft, shifting shadows.
