Pacific Gate by Kohn Pedersen Fox and Hirsch Bedner Associates
An exciting transformation is taking place in Downtown San Diego, the four-square-mile city dubbed “America’s finest city.” The development of new parks, hotels, retail space and cultural offerings support increased growth in the job market and more residents, in part through the visionary North Embarcadero Esplanade Plan and Waterfront Park.
The building comprises two-nested curved glass towers that will rise as a single column from a three-story ground floor retail podium on the north and west sides of the tower. Because of the building’s curves and exterior glass, Pacific Gate will offer a different viewing experience depending on the vantage point of the viewer, mirroring the fluidity and transformation of the sea. The result is an elegant sculptural form with a multi-dimensional effect that blends form and functionalism.
Residents will enjoy luxurious, custom-designed public spaces and residences that seamlessly marry contemporary design using a blend of craftsmanship, natural materials and technologically forward techniques and materials - evoking the coastal vibe, all enveloped in the form and flow of the building. Technology, from Everpure water filtration system to Smart Home allows residents to automate climate, lighting and window treatments through their phone or tablet and produce an unequaled experience in one of the world’s most sought after coastlines.
