We've been fortunate enough to work with another non-profit on furthering their mission of teaching mindfulness through skateboarding. What a cool endeavor. We enjoy our work with non-profits, primarily because they usually have great mission statements, but also they're great people.
This means we get to take a closer look at the code aspects of a skatepark! If you're in the Concord area, check out our project at Sun Valley Mall.

Our client for this particular retail project discussed avoiding the typical subway tile, gray tone atmosphere that you often see. We're looking to strike that perfect balance between the built environment and the pop of attractive design. All this with the expressed goal of putting butts in seats.
We're running the engines extra to make sure this project pops when you see it. There's some heavy competition underway in this city already. Stay tuned as this exciting project develops! Pinterest board courtesy of our client. California Building Codes are changing soon! Most Building departments have a 3-5 year window that requires accessibility upgrades for public usage.
If you're worried about accessibility and the ADA, we upgrade facilities for public and private use! Please reach out with any questions. We're feeling the 4th Quarter push, and have our ducks in a row ready for entitlements. If you haven't already scheduled for permit submission, this is the time to start looking at dates.
Did you know the 2022 California Building Code cycle starts next year? If you have questions on how this will impact your plans, feel free to reach out with questions! Often times Owners bring a clear sense of customer experience, equipment & workflow, and overall design sense to the project. We've been fortunate to be able to create an open environment where ideas can bounce back and forth, knocked out of bounds if needed, and evolve into a space that creates an experience for anyone who occupies it.
As architects & designers here at MZZK, we provide the process and practical implications for the Owner's design, and provide a detailed lens on the construction practicalities. When we design, we review for Planning code (exterior), Building (interior), and Health (Food service). When we have an excited client who enjoys the ideas that can arise during the design process, we consider ourselves fortunate. We're looking forward to this coffee shop & Boba shop opening in San Jose soon! Just an update from our permitting side, we're currently helping with occupancy and egress permitting in East Palo Alto for one of our favorite clients. This one has the added difficulty of immediate use for shelter beds along with a state Assembly Bill.
Menlo Fire District has been great & responsive to work with, and we're looking forward to having this space actively serving the community as soon as possible. |
