Food Marketplaces

The renovation of San Francisco’s landmark, historic Ferry Building in 2002 created a thriving food destination for the city’s natives and visitors alike.

The highly acclaimed Ferry Building Marketplace hosts the best of the Bay Area’s food producers, purveyors and restaurants, and supports the unique celebration of the City’s culinary life. It is also the home of the renowned Ferry Plaza Farmer’s Market.

Warm brick arches with custom metal folding gates serve as the entries to tenants of all sizes, shapes and types, and integrates this completely new public level with the restored historic 660-foot long Grand Nave above.

BCV was the architect for both the Ferry Building Marketplace and many of its tenants.

Oxbow Public Market is a specialty food marketplace showcasing local artisan food and wine producers, and located in Napa’s Oxbow district adjacent to the Napa River.

The Market Hall, a contemporary low-slung metal shed building, and the terra cotta block-clad Wine Pavilion take their cues from classic agricultural building typology, and use pre-engineered metal building technology for their unique open-span interiors. Located in a flood plain, the building by necessity sits atop a podium, which created opportunity for a wrap-around promenade encouraging market activity at the exterior.

The exterior is made up of durable, industrial materials such as terra cotta block, board-formed concrete, steel and glass. The Market’s northern deck takes full advantage of the site’s proximity to the River.

The 50 acre historic Guasti District in Ontario, California was once a thriving winery town founded in 1904, developed around what became the largest vineyard and winery operation in the world in its time. Framed by century-old trees, the renovation of 175,000 sf of existing historic stone winery buildings will become the nucleus of a larger master-planned food and entertainment destination.

BCV Architects is designing the adaptive reuse of a 73,000 sf historic winery building into the Guasti Public Market, slated to also house a new winery tasting room, a destination restaurant, and the Lucky Strike Lanes & Lounge.

While preserving and restoring the integrity of the existing stone building, BCV is creating contemporary and complementary architectural insertions at building entries, retail storefronts, and the interior Market framework, to produce a dramatic backdrop for a dynamic and eclectic mix of food vendors and tenants.

GUASTI PUBLIC MARKETontario, california

The Mercato project design was inspired by its proximity to several industrial buildings in Bend, Oregon, as it is sited between the downtown and the old industrial area - currently experiencing revitalization as a retail destination. The building is brick with a steel-shed metal roof and large windows and doors, all reminiscent of industrial buildings.

The project is composed of several buildings to meet the smaller scale of the downtown, and to create a center at the ground level for the mixed-use activities which Mercato will house. The first floor will hold a European-style food marketplace with a double height arcade, and outdoor dining with views to the mountains, the Deschutes River and the neighboring historic buildings.

The condominiums are loft-style, with tall ceilings and outdoor spaces to appeal to contemporary active lifestyles and the appreciation of spectacular views to the Deschutes National Forest.

BCV Architects’ adaptive reuse of The Cannery is a fresh take on one of America’s first adaptive reuse projects from the 60’s.

Originally built in 1907 as a peach cannery for Del Monte on San Francisco’s north waterfront, the building was famously reinvented in 1967 by noted architect Joseph Esherick as a vertical retail experience with European inspired walkways and loggias. Over the years, the industrial area around the Cannery was developed and the pedestrian patterns have shifted along with retailing strategies. BCV was engaged to re-envision the complex – to add a new layer to the site’s rich history and bring it into the twenty-first century.

The basic premise of the approach was to create a new main entrance to the project at the internal, pedestrican Cannery Walk. The plans include a completely redesigned public space and west elevation. Notably, the 1967 design in Cannery Walk will be restored and celebrated, thus making clear the rich history of the building.

E.C. RITTENHOUSE BUILDINGsanta cruz, california

BCV’s design of the E.C. Rittenhouse Building helps to complete the redevelopment of downtown Santa Cruz’s Pacific Avenue corridor - devastated in 1989’s Loma Prieta earthquake - by offering a prime office and retail location situated at the heart of the mercantile district.

The Rittenhouse Square West development consists a new 4-story building, incorporating 40,000 square feet of new office space along with the development of 17,000 square feet of new retail space. The office space is situated on the upper three levels of the multi-use building, with the retail space entered at ground level from the street.

The building’s design is sensitive to the surrounding context and historic precedents of this neighborhood, blending the commercial vocabulary of Pacific Avenue with the civic character of Church Street.

TREASURE ISLAND TOWN CENTERsan francisco, california

Built with bay fill dredged from the spoils of California gold mining, Treasure Island was the site of the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition, briefly becoming the home of the Pan American “China Clipper”, and ultimately converted to a naval base until decommissioned by the US Navy in1994. Accessed from the east and west by the Bay Bridge, Treasure Island is being transformed over the next 20 years as part of an ambitious transit-oriented redevelopment project to make it San Francisco’s newest neighborhood.

BCV Architects, in partnership with SOM, Perkins + Will, Mithun, CMG, and other design consultants, has developed an ecologically sensitive master plan with environmental sustainability in mind. More than sixty percent of the Island is reserved as open space, including a 20 acre functioning organic farm. The plan also locates approximately 10,000 residents within a 10-minute walk of a new Treasure Island Ferry Terminal, and creates approximately 200,000 sf of community and destination retail in a new Island Town Center which preserves and integrates three existing historic exhibition buildings with proposed new retail buildings.

In addition to participating in the master planning process, BCV is the design architect for the retail and civic portions of the Island Core development, which responds to the desire for sustainability by concentrating activity and transportation at a centralized hub. The Island Core plan also includes an expansion of the existing marina and recreational uses supported by sports and marine retailers.

HOLLYWOOD PARK VILLAGE MASTER PLANinglewood, california

Hollywood Park Village is a visionary mixed-use redevelopment incorporating residential, retail, and office space on the 238 acre site of the former Hollywood Park racetrack in Inglewood, California. BCV has designed the mixed-use town center which constitutes over 600,000 sf of retail and entertainment buildings at the intersection of Century and Prairie. At the heart of the city of Inglewood, this new village will build on the characteristics of the Los Angeles town centers that grew up throughout the basin in the 1920’s and 1930’s.

The project goal is to incorporates cultural sensitivity, sustainability, and a sense of community that supports living life in a joyous way. A central lake and park are at the center of Hollywood Park Village, with each of the major programmatic components - retail, office and residential - relating in their layout and design to this heart.

Design for the Hollywood Park Village is in association with Cooper Robertson & Partners, Hall & Foreman Inc, Mia Lehrer + Associates, RSM Design, SWA Group and WHA Inc.

san Mateo’s new transit Oriented development is at the the former site of the Bay Meadows racetrack, and has delaware street at its heart. the 5-block mixed-use Commercial Gateway lining delaware street will serve as the retail and neighborhood core for both 800,000 sf of new offices and 1,200 homes. located adjacent to the existing Caltrain tracks - and the future high-speed rail line - delaware street will be san Mateo’s new locus of commercial and retail development.

BCv is helming the design of the five new retail and mixed-use structures anchoring the street’s wide, tree-lined sidewalks. the buildings are reminiscent of the scale of traditional Peninsula downtowns.

design for the Commercial Gateway is in association with Cooper robertson & Partners, hOK, Mve and Mithun.

Walnut Creek has developed into a thriving destination for retail in the Bay Area’s East Bay metropolitan region. As a result of this growing stature, development of the pedestrian-oriented downtown core has expanded to include and infill areas formerly occupied by former, larger-box tenants. Since 1997, BCV has been integrally involved in the reconceptualization and integration of these large ‘sites’ within the existing urban fabric of downtown Walnut Creek.

Five separate development parcels make up the area of BCV’s pedestrian retail core expansion projects: Broadway Pointe, Plaza Escuela, Olympia Place, The Corners, and the American Savings Bank property.

Beginning with the design and completion of Broadway Pointe, a 40,000 square foot retail center, BCV has made the “urban seaming” of the pedestrian experience a high priority. The extension south of Locust Street, and the development of both Plaza Escuela (named after the original town schoolhouse which occupied this parcel of land), and Olympia Place added almost 200,000 square feet of retail space, along with a multi-screen movie theater and numerous restaurants to the downtown core.

It is this “urban seaming” which defines the approach to the further development of downtown Walnut Creek, and has established BCV as Walnut Creek’s retail downtown expert, with a client list that includes multiple developers as well as the City of Walnut Creek itself.

Broadway pointe is a retail core and shell project encompassing an entire city block in downtown Walnut Creek. The site was developed to house nationally recognized retail tenants, supported by a large parking garage, and to draw from the retail energy of the highly successful outdoor mall across Mt. Diablo Boulevard.

To achieve these goals, BCV worked extensively with the Walnut Creek planning Department, incorporating their planning guidelines and designing a location for a new city park within the block.

in order to blend in with the existing city fabric, the project was designed in a series of discrete storefronts, reminiscent of more traditional main streets found throughout the country. as part of the development, an il Fornaio restaurant with an open loggia, recalling the design and character of a classical italian piazza, is sited directly on the park, which will become an integral part of Walnut Creek’s trail system.

The Corners occupies the southwest corner of the historic intersection of Main street and Mount Diablo Boulevard. The design of this 33,000 square foot project has two main aims: the extension of the historic pedestrian retail downtown south and west, and the preservation of one of the few remaining valley oaks in Walnut Creek, dating from pre-spanish colonial times.

The Main street side of the project is developed as 3 distinct 2-story buildings, the corner building designed with its entry as a sky-lit corner tower. a separate lobby tower entrance is located adjacent on Mount Diablo Boulevard. This lobby provides access to the second-story office space.

2 single story brick buildings frame a 12-foot wide alley that leads to a small pocket park at the base of the heritage Oak. The alley and the park are activated by the popular Va de Vie restaurant, in the eastern single story building. a public art piece by artist Olivia kuser, celebrating the oak, runs along the west wall of the alley.

Overall, The Corners helps knit together downtown Walnut Creek, strengthening the efforts begun at BCV’s design of Broadway pointe, plaza escuela and Olympia place.

Marin Country Mart is a re-visioning of an existing retail center, redesigned with a focus on community gathering spaces, and featuring exceptional food purveyors, local services and independent boutique shops.

Inspired by Marin’s rustic charm as well as the dynamic coastal location, the 168,000 square foot retail center renovation includes twelve buildings on 16 acres, with a focus on the five “core” buildings and the series of public spaces these structures create.

In addition to the outdoor dining in the fountain plaza, and the plaza housing the redwood children’s play structure, the pedestrian promenade on the south side of the site is a bold move that enables visitors to connect with views of San Francisco Bay and Mount Tamalpais.

MARIN COUNTRY MARTlarkspur, california

Serving the Irvine Ranch’s Woodbury residential community of 4,271 housing units, and the region at large, this hybrid lifestyle/power center consists of 450,000 square feet of lifestyle and big box retail on 50 acres, with tenants ranging from small food uses to a large grocery to a home improvement store.

The prominent corner of Sand Canyon Road and Irvine Boulevard is anchored by two restaurant buildings, with the 50,000 sf heart of the center hosting a cluster of lifestyle retailers with an outdoor plaza and fountain surrounded by a major bookstore, restaurants and food uses.

Larger retailers frame the south and west edges of the center, and include home improvement, sporting goods, grocery, specialty food, office supply, import store, home goods and drug store tenants, as well as a myriad of other smaller shops. The perimeter of the site is generously landscaped to complement the adjacent residential neighborhoods.

The center’s architecture is inspired by the Romanesque revival, a vocabulary suited to civic centers and characterized by towers, gabled roofs, dramatic semicircular arches and horizontal banding.

BCV Architects and The Irvine Company have developed design ideals for the evolution of Fashion Island from the artistic principles that arose during the Renaissance, in particular the ideals of perfection, order and harmony. These principles create a continuum of the luxury experience at The Irvine Company’s Resort at Pelican Hill, one that seeks to create an ethos of “relaxed formalism” in the retail environment.

Originally built in 1967, the current architecture of Fashion Island is rooted in the ideas of an Italian hill town, and the detail of many of the buildings in the center provides the “bones” of the transition into a luxury retail destination. BCV has applied Renaissance design principles to piazzas and buildings within Fashion Island in order to create an architectural character that has the ability to re-vision the entire shopping experience, and bring Fashion Island in alignment with the graciousness and sophistication of Pelican Hill.

BCV recognizes that Fashion Island has elements within it that already suggest a sense of elegance and place-making unrivaled anywhere in Southern California. The proposed design maintains much of the existing organization of buildings and exterior spaces, but seeks to reinvent their detail, scale and proportions so that the facades are more classical in their construct. Further, the intention is that the facades are not mere decorations, but are extensions of the structure within, so larger buildings can properly contain the retail tenant program.

FASHION ISLAND RETAILnewport beach, california

THE BLUFFSnewport beach, california

Situated on a hilltop where Newport Beach and Irvine meet, and serving the daytime population of more than 1,000,000 sf of prime adjacent office space, The Bluffs Retail Center occupies a pivotal location in the fast-growing area between these two Southern California communities. The site for The Bluffs is highly visible on all four sides, requiring careful design in the creation of a new retail and restaurant center prototype.

Using the project’s prominent hilltop location to greatest advantage, BCV’s design emphasizes the formation of a ‘hilltop compound,’ with prominent public spaces for gathering and relaxing. These courtyard spaces are further articulated through the abundant use of landscaping to signal their presence from both inside and outside the center. Along with approximately 51,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space, these outdoor pedestrian spaces form the backbone of this neighborhood center, highlighted by a major tower element acting as a beacon.

Through the creative articulation and design of what typically would be the “rear” elevation of these buildings, the facades function both as useable elements of the architecture and intriguing elevations visible from the surrounding topography.

The Cherry Orchard Specialty Retail Center is located at one of the most important intersections in Silicon Valley, at the crossing of Mathilda Avenue and El Camino Real. The 60,000 square foot retail center creates a new gateway to downtown Sunnyvale.

Inspiration for the architectural vocabulary for the center is drawn from the California Missions. These Missions also inspired earlier civic buildings in Sunnyvale, including the original city hall and the local high school. The placement of the restaurant at the corner creates a sense of enclosure. Corner pavilions housing food and coffee uses anchor the site and define the vehicular entrances.

The landscape design draws on the agrarian heritage of the site, and features both an orchard of cherry trees and a palm allée linking the restaurant and major two-story bookstore. On El Camino Real, the historic cherry stand and water tower have been retained.

Marlin Cove is the redevelopment of an existing distressed strip retail center into a mixed-use retail and residential project. BCV designed the new retail portion of the center, incorporating an existing grocery store, for a total of 66,500 square feet.

The redesign involved creating a new entrance for the grocery store, as well as the creation of a drug store, 8 in-line retail shops, a restaurant, second-level professional office space, and a residential leasing office.

Organized as a bar with restaurant and drugstore anchoring the ends, a civic-scaled trellis runs alongside the in-line retail shops, forming a central plaza and colonnade, and creating a linear connection across the site, linking retail and residential to the Foster City lagoon waterfront.
