This new, 152-unit affordable housing project sits at the edge of the Mission Bay neighborhood. The building massing’s four wings create small, identifiable communities within the building and block: the China Basin Wing, the Mews Wing, the Mission Bay Boulevard Wing, and the Merrimac Wing. The collection of these smaller building wings creates an intimate neighborhood at 6W within the larger Mission Bay neighborhood. Breaks in massing between these wings, as well as courtyard entries on three facades, provide views out and a visual connection to the block. These visual and physical connections, combined with integrative and supportive programming, help to create a healthy and dynamic environment that encourages relationships and builds community between residents and the neighborhood.
