Bar April Jean

2,859 SF Commercial Hospitality

1371 Grant Ave

SF CA 94109

Bar April Jean is the renovation and remodel of the 100 year old commercial bar at the corner of Grant and Green in the Historic neighborhood of North Beach. Named to honor the owner's mothers, partners Jamal Blake-Williams and Joe Poz team up to bring the hometown bar back to the neighborhood while bringing light to the long line of patrons and parties past. Brittany Busacca and Jamal Blake-Williams provide interior design direction and veteran bar knowledge , while Nate Valentine provided operational knowhow to maximize the use and function of the historic building for generations to come.

Transforming every aspect of the interior and exterior with a new accessible entry, re-oriented bar, consolidated bathrooms, new vertical circulation connecting the basement to the bar, new acoustical separation to residential units above, new flooring and all new storefront and facade with full lighting, electrical, and plumbing and sound throughout. Each move was a calculous for function and aesthetic to simplify and amplify existing strengths, remaining authentic and honest.

Natural light floods and connects the space with enlarged floor to ceiling glass and accordion folding storefront windows bringing the bar into the street and putting dormant corner back on display.

Organic materials breathe health back into the 100 year old space. Century details hark back to the gold standard for fine hospitality combining reclaimed old-growth redwood, oak flooring, black marble counters, modeled plaster, moss green tile, radiused joinery, and relics of history to create a vibe to be yourself while remembering the steep in the history of San Francisco's Barbary Coast.

My personal ode to a childhood spent between my fathers North Beach apartment and our childhood adventures in the watershed of Mt. Tamalpais.

Love you mom.

Horizontal expanses stretch across the face of the cliff aligning interior experiences with far reaching regional views. A vertical service core establishes the structural fulcrum for the wide hovering bars while acting as a manifold, interlocking the service and the served and integrating function and experience. The gathering level opens to a level garden, sheltered by the sleeping bar above and supported by the recreational bar below. Turning inward, a vertical atrium brings light deep into the cave-like spa, reflecting sun through water and illuminating the interior of the cliff. This grand proposal uses concrete and steel to achieve the perception of weightlessness.

The clients purchased the 2.5 Acre site and fell in love with the local ecosystem. Working with Ground Studio to fully understand the 4 major zones of the site, we integrated the building form as a lifted nest above the ground in the canopy of the trees. The building is oriented 15 degrees of south allowing for calculated overhangs to control the heat and light of the building while depending on passive cross ventilation and stack effect the double height atrium. The ground plane runs through the ground level of the building blurring indoor and outdoor experiences with large glass expanses, cantilevered floor plates and roofs, and a solar screen made of vertical louvres that camouflages the house with the rich natural pallet of the site.

This project is shaped by the natural forces of the site. Within a mid-century modern aesthetic under Japanese influence, this house creates two courtyards flanked by to wings of the house bisected by an entry bridge. The second floor wraps the west side of the rear courtyard to protect the outdoor area from strong wester winds. By acting as a barrier, the second floor can be cooled primarily by cross ventilation. Solar louvres clad the second level to control sun and to create privacy.

The Spreckels Music Temple was identified as the center of ceremonies for the 150th anniversary of Golden Gate Park. The civic art non-profit Illuminate tapped us to redesign the stage and coordinate an effort to integrate 64 lights and 2 mega speakers to activate the 100 year old structure. The stage takes cues from an ancient Greek theater focusing, the audience and performers alike on the center point of the celebration.

dosa by DOSA No. 2 brings the bar experience to center stage while keeping the budget to a minimum. The architectural effect of the island bar organizes the service and circulation in a circular flow around the dinning room. The bar is shrouded with a 20’ theatrical scrim on 4 sides that create a valence around an 8’ sand blasted acrylic sphere with a variable LED light on the interior. The mood ball mimics the light of the sun tracing sun rise, high noon, afternoon, sunset and dusk as the atmosphere of the restaurant changes from breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The symbol of the sun brings the energetic warmth and spirit of Mumbai to the tech-savy Silicon Valley neighborhood. We took full advantage of high ceilings and abundant natural light in the newly built concrete space. Hand-crafted interpretations of traditional Indian elements play with new and old, extending the design idiom of the original dosa by DOSA concept in Oakland.

Our plan radiates from an informal lounge area to a perimeter band of formal spaces; from private offices to work stations, conference rooms, and break out rooms - a strategy that we have used on previous projects with great success. This diverse occupation of the building’s edge creates a flexible office culture where employees and visitors will experience contemplative personal space, collaborative work spaces, café settings, and formal presentation spaces as they circulate from one end of the space to the other. It is a gradient between residential comforts and corporate efficiency.

The perimeter is itself a gradient in transparency, from private, to semi private, to entirely open. A walk through the space offers a visual narrative of San Francisco. The opening and closing of the space, from interior to exterior, creates choice apertures that frame the most iconic landmarks of the city beyond.

The concept is a strategy with many outcomes. The program can be assigned in a number of ways specific to the needs of client. The framework set up amplifies the power of the view while retaining the intimate needs of the individual within the highly variable landscape of the office environment. We designed the office to resemble a walk along the top of a mountain, with curated views of the city below, powerful yet humble.

The Gu Residence organizes the site with three stacked volumes. One for the living, one for the garage and utility, and the top bridging element as the bedrooms. The yin yang diagram captures a private rear courtyard with inward facing views for family and entertainment strategically situated for strong indoor outdoor connections through large sliding glass doors. The warm textures of bush hammered travertine and sustainably reclaimed Ulin siding emphasize the grounded volumes supporting the bridge element above. A bold yet subtle home that celebrates the site by opening space for living.

dosa by DOSA brings the energetic warmth and spirit of Mumbai street food to the easy-going Uptown Oakland neighborhood. We took full advantage of high ceilings and abundant natural light in the century-old, brick-and-timber building at 2301 Broadway. Hand-crafted interpretations of traditional Indian elements play with new and old, developing an enduring design idiom for future dosa by DOSA locations.

dosa by DOSA is street corner casual and quick. An all-day bar keeps the energy light and lively from breakfast through dinner. The open kitchen and its wood clad hearth showcase the handwork of creating fresh dosa. Highlighting the meeting of Oakland and Mumbai, two large mural walls commissioned from local artists transports the customer from Oakland to India and promises fresh discoveries with every family dinner, casual cocktail, or morning chai.

Beautiful, healthful, soulful spaces that inspire people and enhance our communities: those are the objectives of Feldman Architecture. Aligned with our clients’ vision, this Uptown Oakland project’s resourceful design, fine materials, and thoughtful detailing make dosa by DOSA both journey and destination.

The floating fold house is located in Port Costa on a hill sloping north with a view over the Carquinez Straight. The concept for the house was to create a programmed retaining wall dug into the hilside with a floating roof above. Bathrooms, utilities, and kitchen reside in the thickened back wall while the open floor plan opens to the view beyond. The plan bends with the contours of the hill and the roof folds to mimic the rolling hills.

The stable was built in 1909 by Bricca family. The building sits at the edge of the old shoreline looking east toward the bay in iconic Jackson Square. The brick and timber building was seismically retrofitted with steel moment frames marking the first modernization of the building in 2002. As a move to preserve the structure and its inherent history, the project sought to camouflage the desired private conference and meeting rooms through reflection. Etched glass walls mirror the brick and timber space, multiplying it through spatial sequencing while clear glass partitions allow for clear visibility through the space. The result is an office that is both private yet open, opaque and transparent. The addition mimics a layer of fog near a damp port referencing the building's original bay side geography. Nautical modern preservationist. Clean crisp and raw and gnarled. Tranquil.

The office serves a staff of 14 with 2 large conference rooms, 2 private meeting rooms, 1 lounge, kitchen, lobby and 2 benches of workstation. The lighting comes from a rectangular architectural element marking the perimeter of the computer stations. The project was completed in 5 months sketch to finish.

Contour follows the contours of the landscape to terrace two molded bar structures into the hillside. Uphill are the bedrooms and the den. Down hill is the kitchen, dining and living room. In the middle is the outdoor living room. The levels of the house rise as the family member or visitor traverses from the bottom of the hill to the top of the site. The house is a journey. 

The structure is composed of long stone walls that extend into the landscape. Roofs span between the walls to create the rooms that are of the hill. Wood slats and fenestration puncture the stone walls for views and warming texture while the landscape is designed to pass through the house filling the space with wild beauty. 

The geometry is both gentle and rigorous, finding the right level of cut and fill to balance the site. Every corner is accounted for. Every inch resolved. 

Unfortunately the client abandoned the project. The approved design and lot are up for sale. We hope a new buyer will share this dream and the project can come back to life.

Pro bono design permitting and construction administration for the Sonoma Land Trust Baylands Center. The project is sited on the flood line where the Land Trust is working to let the levies out and the water to reclaim the marsh. In 5 years, this will be overlooking water. Make sure to look out for it next time you travel across HWY 37.

The project is both rural and modern, hiding a glass enclosed meeting space within a veiled wood barn structure. The glass slides open for extended events and slides closed on cold or windy days without ever loosing connection to the spectacular setting. A private office and bathroom flank the entry anchoring and anchoring the front of the building. The landscape rolls away as one walks out onto the deck perching them high to see for miles.
