AmpliFi is designed to address three distinct edge conditions surrounding the property; while grounding the aesthetic in Fullerton’s history.  With close proximity of the Fullerton Station rail line, AmpliFi emphasizes transit-oriented, urban, walkable edges.  To reflect the city’s namesake (the city is named after the man that brought the train to the City) the project draws inspiration of locomotion into the design narrative by incorporating a box car theme that moves along Commonwealth Avenue.  The moving box car pattern transitions around the corner and becomes more residential as it moves onto Chestnut Place and Williamson Avenue.  Architecture is minimized on these streets, while courtyards and open space are maximized to create a more residential scaled edge.  The rail line edge highlights the ramp of our parking garage in two large angled frames that displays the movement of the automobile alongside the movement of the train.
