New vertical neighborhood in San Francisco

West of West, an American architecture firm, has been the winner of a competition to reimagine the future of San Francisco housing in response to the city’s housing crisis.The project, called Sunset Steps, is a multi-family building designed so that 65 percent of its site is used as shared green spaces to foster community among residents. At the rear of the building, stepped terraces would create informal gathering spaces such as decks, balconies, and gardens.
