New renderings have been revealed for a proposed commercial infill at 212 Ritch Street in SoMa, San Francisco. The proposal would replace a two-story commercial structure and a vacant lot with offices and a new restaurant space. Y.A. Studio is the project’s architect.

The 55-foot tall structure will yield 17,360 square feet with 3,300 square feet for commercial retail designed to become a restaurant and 11,740 square feet for office use. Parking will be included for ten bicycles.
The design revealed in new renderings shows angled curtain wall glass windows with sliding doors providing access to triangular balconies on the second and third floor. The sliding doors will also allow for plenty of natural air circulation into the offices. Outdoor decks will also be included on the fourth and fifth floors.

Good planning except possibly alot for more bike parking
Nice facade design. More office space? Making it residential over retail would make more sense, since it looks like there will be surfeit office space in the post-covid future.
