Alta Laguna是一座占地六英亩的综合体，位于旧金山的中心，距离繁华的市场大街仅有几步之遥。区域规划结合了一系列宏大的项目，包括330个市价公寓单元，110个对LGBT群体友好的高级公寓单元、各类公共空间、一个社区花园以及一系列居民专用的私人庭院。

Just steps from bustling Market Street, Alta Laguna is a six-acre complex located in the heart of San Francisco. The site plan stitches together an ambitious program of 330 market rate units, 110 LGBT-friendly senior units, various public spaces, a community garden and a series of private courts for residents. MSLA worked extensively with neighborhood groups and the San Francisco Planning Department to develop the design.

Waller公园作为该区域的公共动脉，以城市步行长廊的形式贯穿了综合体所在的地块。公园享有壮观的景色，其地势向下倾斜50英尺（15.24米），设有一座大楼梯。银杏树优雅地排布在公园的各个层次，与美观的树篱、水道、铺路材料和户外家具共同构成了公园的轴心。
MSLAWaller Park is the main public artery of the Development and stretches across the complex as an urban pedestrian promenade. With dramatic views, Waller Park cascades 50 feet downwards with a grand staircase. An allee of Gingko trees gracefully marches down with each level. This, and the artistic collage of tree grates, trench drains, pavers and furnishings are knitted together to form the spine of the park.

大部分的景观被支撑在结构之上。地下停车场被压低至距地表6英尺（约1.83米）处，为的是支撑悬臂式的路径，维护不密实的可渗透土壤环境，从而让银杏树林得以生长繁衍。
With below grade parking, most of the landscape is on structure. The underground parking structure was depressed six feet below finish grade to support cantilevered paving and an extensive environment of uncompacted and porous soils allowing the Gingko grove to thrive for generations.

大楼梯的设计旨在为居民们带来俯瞰城市美景的休闲场地。楼梯以北设有一系列体育馆式的阶梯座位、广场和眺望台。这些结构展现了一种新的公共空间的表达方式，成为社区中一处温馨友好的聚集场所。
The grand staircase is civic-spirited, offering ever changing views of the city below. North of the staircase is a series of terraced stadium seats, plazas and belvederes. These structures are expressions of a new public space, one which welcomes, celebrates, and provides places of respite for the community.

The design integrates innovative ways to bring a wide range of amenities to the housing development and community, helping to transform a once-blighted area into a safe, thriving neighborhood.
