BRIDGE Hayward is located on Hesperian Boulevard next to the Mohr-Fry Estate and Chabot College. The goal of the project is to create a sense of place and community and arrange the buildings to form a main street anchored by a park. The majority of the buildings are 4 story elevator-served with a setback along Hesperian Boulevard. A leasing and amenity building is located in the center of the project with residential units above and serves as a central gathering place. One of the challenges was tucking parking in the back and side streets to preserve the main street and encourage people to walk to the different amenities. The park is imagined to be a blend of passive and active spaces with children play areas and several existing mature trees on site. The context of the Mohr-Fry Estate and Chabot College heavily influences the project; the design fuses the agricultural focused estate with the modern design of the college to create enduring and comfortable buildings. This modern farmhouse style utilizes bold metal shed roofs and multiple materials including, white siding, board and batten, stone and wood, breaking down the large building to have a more approachable scale. All of this reinforces the sense of community and creates a place people want to live.
