DESIGN VISION
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN PRINCIPALS
The purpose of this submittal is to develop and review the overall architectural
concepts for the Sherwin Williams development based on the parameters
established in the approved PDP documents.
As stated in the approved PDP document, Architecturally, buildings should
acknowledge the eclectic blend of Emeryville’s industrial heritage and its
vocabulary of mixed-use buildings with a distinctive artistic and modern
sensibility. Building facades should complement the neighborhood and utilize
a varied, but cohesive, vocabulary of quality building materials and treatments
that respect the scale and character of the district. Materials and treatments
common to structures in the Park Avenue District, such as masonry, plaster,
brick, metal and concrete, will be combined with more modern applications to
extend the industrial and eclectic fabric of the neighborhood.
In order to create cohesive architectural variety, the approved PDP site plan
for the Sherwin Williams development will be comprised of three architectural
building districts, each acknowledging Emeryville’s industrial heritage while
celebrating the City’s future.

WAREHOUSE DISTRICT
District One Vision
WAREHOUSE DISTRICT
Buildings in this district should not mimic, but should provide
a complement to the existing building. To this end, buildings
should reflect the following characteristics:
• Simple, bold, rectangular forms with a strong expression
of structure.
• Limited and restrained articulation.
• Grid patterns.
• Subtle, traditional details.
• Targeted use of Brick and/or concrete to reinforce the
existing warehouse character.
• Plaster to contrast the texture of brick and other materials.
• Reinforce and reflect the texture and rhythm of the existing
building.
• The gallery structure, because of its use, may have a
more artful expression and depart from the themes of
this district.

to create a more contemporary expression. Buildings should
reflect the following characteristics.
• Simple, bold forms with a contemporary volumetric
expression of order and structure.
• Smooth plaster or other building finishes.
• Light palette of color and materials to contrast the color
and materials of the Warehouse District
• Industrial building base to integrate the pedestrian
experience with that established in the Warehouse District.

building and the linear open space that is an extension of the Emeryville
Greenway.

Hubbard Street, the goal of this district is to highlight the importance of
the railroad infrastructure in shaping the industrial center of Emeryville.
It will also serve as a gateway to the site from Horton Landing Park.
