Design Sketches
San Rafael Corporate Center (LEED Gold Certified) San Rafael, CA
GardenAlbum

As part of the design team for the redesigned corporate center, Pedersen Associates was committed to creating an inviting urban landscape with a higher level of sustainability. A series of eleven sloped elements (known as "bioswales") were designed to allow pollutants to filter out of roof water run-off before flowing into the San Francisco Bay. The integration of cutting-edge conservation techniques, coupled with the use of native and drought-tolerant shrubs, grasses, sedges and succulents, resulted in a rich and welcoming landscape that exceeds the Marin Municipal Water District's water use standards.
