A whimsical approach to the form of the stormwater infiltration planters at Casa Adelante 2060 Folsom enables this important sustainable infrastructure to double as an informal play area within the main resident courtyard. The combination of dappled light, wood decking, sinuous planters and geologic sampling create richness in the modestly scaled space. The courtyard perimerter is lined with a large community room and supportive service offices, promoting easy everyday connections between building staff, service providers and residents, enmeshed in the physical and psychological benefits of access to outdoor space. @brucedamonte

The paseo at Casa Adelante 2060 Folsom regenerates the function of historic Mission Creek ecology (infilled over time as part of the urbanization of San Francisco) by reconnecting stormwater to the native permeable subgrade. By using permeable pavers on an over-excavated subbase, stormwater reaches the former creek soils at about five feet below finish grade, helping mitigate the flood-prone site. On the far side of the wood fence, stormwater gardens in the residential courtyard absorb rooftop runoff, directing it to root zones of native Sycamores, reestablishing the relationship between stormwater and root uptake. Structural soil cells allow proper root volume beneath courtyard paving, ensuring balance between ecological function and outdoor space for residents. @brucedamonte
