Jewish Home of San Francisco

Place and Purpose

Jewish Home of San Francisco, a senior living nonprofit, understands that wellbeing encompasses not just physical health, but also social and emotional connections. To support this holistic approach, we helped transform their 130-year-old, nine-acre campus into a vibrant oasis, guided by three core principles—discovery, equity, and beauty. The design includes two new buildings: the Frank Residences, offering 190 units of memory care and assisted living, and Byer Square, a new public community center. The campus plan integrates green spaces and three distinct parks, connecting the Frank Residences and Byer Square to the neighborhood while providing the privacy and safety necessary for residents. A newly revitalized gateway on Mission Boulevard and a public urban park offers well-lit, natural areas for gathering and relaxation, creating a peaceful contrast to the surrounding city. Byer Square focuses on wellness, offering spaces for nutrition, entertainment, arts, and day-to-day care. Key amenities include a fitness center, dining spaces, an auditorium, library, craft room, and pool, all designed to encourage activity and social interaction. The heart of the campus is surrounded by parks and designed to promote spontaneous engagement. The Frank Residences are connected to these green spaces, offering views of the central park and Lawrence Halprin’s fountain courtyard. Units include studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments, with large windows that bring the outdoors in. The design emphasizes discovery, with spaces that unfold gradually, allowing social activities to spill out onto outdoor patios. Equity is central to the design, with outdoor spaces and common areas adaptable to various physical abilities and needs, ensuring all residents feel included. This revitalized campus fosters community, engagement, and a true sense of belonging for residents at every stage of life.
