D O G P A T C H R O P E W A L K

Built in collaboration with Fletcher Studio, “The Ropewalk is located in the San Francisco’s Historic Dogpatch District. The site was once home to the Tubbs Cordage Company, a maritime ropemaking factory, whose pier extended far out into the waters of the bay. The site once mediated the boundary between water and land. Taking inspiration from the site’s industrial past, ecological past, and maritime history, we (Fletcher Studio) designed an engaging public passageway that offers the opportunities to interact with its history. The design consists of a meandering elevated boardwalk, which floats over a constructed bio-retention wetland and connects two distinctly different public plazas. These plazas feature an outdoor museum, interactive art, and a variety of custom designed furnishings.”

CORTEN STEEL PIER TABLE

We fabricated this 2,500 pound corten steel community table designed to emulate the appearance of a pier and reflect the history of the area.

HAMMERED STEEL BENCHES

These individually hammered steel benches were fabricated out of our Oakland shop and are described by Fletcher Studio as “ghosts of the past inspire the unusual form of a family of Nomads, through a collection of sculptural steel benches that appear to walk through the space.”
