Perched on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean and the Richmond neighborhood in the Presidio National Park, the historic Public Health Service District has been transformed into San Francisco’s newest and most environmentally forward neighborhood. This behind the scenes tour will examine the layers of history and ecological systems that informed the neighborhood’s planning and landscape design, and will look at how innovative sustainable site features, biking and hiking trails, overlooks and interpretive elements were integrated into a National Historic Landmark district. The tour will visit historic and new buildings, including the main historic building, now remade as The Presidio Landmark, a LEED Gold multifamily residential building with 154 apartments offering residents a unique combination of history, natural beauty and breathtaking views of the city, ocean and park and a new LEED Platinum townhouse building that features state-of-theart environmental control and display systems.
