Plans have been filed for a small residential infill at 8 Orizaba Avenue in San Francisco’s Outer Mission neighborhood. The project will bring three dwelling units to a vacant lot overlooking the BART train tracks and Interstate 280. Millbrae-based Morrico Management is listed as the property owner.
The roughly 30-foot-tall structure is expected to produce two three-bedroom apartments above a ground-level two-bedroom accessory dwelling unit. Parking will be included for a vehicle and three bicycles. The proposal looks to feature an energy-efficient all-electric system.

Massoudi Consulting Engineers will draft the construction plans. Illustrations show a familiar vernacular design with upsettingly small windows along the front elevation’s bay window. Facade materials will include stucco and Hardie Plank siding.
The 0.06-acre property is a vacant lot on a steep, small cul-de-sac between De Long Street and the BART train tracks. The site is close to the border with Daly City in San Mateo County. Construction is estimated to cost around a quarter of a million dollars, a figure not inclusive of all development costs. The timeline for completion has not yet been shared.

“upsettingly small windows”. Are there no competent architects in the Bay Area? Of course there are…..why don’t they get these projects to design?!!!
Oh my frickin’ word. That is HIDEOUS! Don’t ever let engineers design buildings. This looks like a fun-size supermax prison.
Don’t build it please. A weed-choked lot is at least habitat for butterflies and feral cats.
