Adele Santos Architect

San Francisco, California

 

About the building:

These images were taken during a visit to San Francisco in November 1998. Part of the complex was open (skating rink, offices and bowling alley). Part was still under construction. I was struck by the genuinely playful nature of this kid oriented architecture. The skating rink had the most inspirational lighting I have ever seen in a rink.

Bowling alley. The up and down wall with steps would be great for kids' wall walking...
More sun shading devices.

The rink is lit wonderfully via the Kalwall plus upper level clerestory windows.
