San Mateo Bay Meadows The Russell

RHAA worked with BAR Architects and developer Wilson Meany on two multi-family housing projects within the San Mateo Bay Meadows redevelopment area. The two buildings provide residential units targeting a range of anticipated users with outdoor courtyards programmed to meet the needs of their respective user groups. With full basement parking garages at each building, both courtyards were entirely constructed on structure. For one building, geared towards young tech-savvy professionals looking to start a family, RHAA designed an activated outdoor space with a pool, a spa, an outdoor club area, and a garden with small gathering spaces, fire-pits, BBQs, as well as a Petanque court, a bike storage/repair room, and an exercise area. For the other building, geared towards a more mature crowd, RHAA designed a serene garden broken into various outdoor rooms divided by screening hedges and trees, including a “secret” spa room, as well as other seating areas and an outdoor BBQ space.
