WESTBOROUGH PLAZA / by F. Lopez

WESTBOROUGH PLAZA
Callan Boulevard/Westborough Boulevard
South San Francisco, CA

The Plaza is a 4.7-acre existing strip mall with a freestanding restaurant/bakery at the southeast corner.  Aside from the general site and landscape improvements, the remodel consists of creating a new architectural expression, such as, by providing mansards and parapet walls to conceal rooftop mechanical equipment, and adding towers between these elements.  The arcade becomes a series of exposed trusses and a solarium at the anchor tenant.  Existing arcade columns were enclosed in stucco-finished tubes and pavement patterns were added to create architectural interest.
