Alameda Preservation Award:
New Construction - Mulberry - Alameda, CA

This award honors new construction or “infill” projects within older neighborhoods that mirror or enhance the surrounding built environment. Growth is an inevitable part of living in one of the most desirable areas of the United States. Cities can grow in an unstructured, chaotic way that detracts from quality of life, or conversely, focus on smart growth that adds to the community.

Dan and the HHJA team worked closely with the city of Alameda on the standard decisions such as size, height, and open space. HHJA met with members of the community twice to collect feedback – knowing that early engagement with the neighbors would not just be key to smoother relations; but would result in a better project. To honor the architecture of the area, the project has three distinct architectural styles – Bungalow, Victorian and Mediterranean.  

The initial design for the development was not historically influenced. However, in meeting with the community, neighbors were passionate about the historical nature of the area and keeping that consistent with the other homes which have been there for over 100 years. HHJA spent time in the neighborhood to get a sense of the feel and styles already present as well as the colors used. This led to a major re-work of the design. It is successful due to its effort to blend into the existing neighborhood and maintain the historical nature of Alameda. The fact that this project started without historical references and ended up so seamlessly blending into the surrounding blocks shows the enormous impact that community feedback can have.
