Replacing a seismically deficient 1950s garage in Berkeley’s downtown Arts District, this environmentally sustainable parking garage also holds retail, art exhibit spaces, public restrooms, bicycle parking, a café, and offices. Extensive rooftop solar panels provide power for the garage, and a bioswale rainwater collection system irrigates the planters at the ground floor parklet. At night, choreographed LED lighting washes the pleated metal scrim in an ever-changing array of colors—a classic theatrical riff and a nod to the neighboring performing arts spaces.
