Bay FC, the Bay Area’s newest professional women’s sports team, is gearing up for an unforgettable debut in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) in 2024. And guess where they’ll be playing? None other than the iconic PayPal Park!
Bay FC’s home will include a world-class, 3,600-square-foot standalone facility. Adjacent to the stadium will house the team’s locker room to nurture talent and elevate player skills. Bay FC’S home will have office areas, lounges, training rooms, hydrotherapy facilities and other accommodations. It will also serve as the team’s central home for game-day operations.
Situated between the renowned Stevens Stadium and the Paul L. Locatelli Student Activities Center at Santa Clara University, this new development promises to be a hub of innovation and recreation.
At the heart of this project is a 1500 square foot building that will serve as a haven for SCU’s golf team and faculty. Inside, you’ll find a lounge where the team can connect with one another. There will be a virtual putting green, equipped with patented technology that can dynamically change the slope and undulation of the ground to mimic any putting contour in golf.
The building will also house two golf simulators. These simulators go beyond the ordinary, utilizing an overhead ION3 Camera to measure ball impact and a combination of infrared technology and high-speed blue light LED cameras to track the ball in-flight.
In addition to the building, the project will also include a sprawling 5000 square foot synthetic putting green complete with strategically placed bunkers. This outdoor space will provide ample opportunities for practice.
The SR 87/Capitol Expressway Interchange Improvement project will improve vehicular access between northbound SR 87 and Capitol Expressway, provide high-quality, convenient, and comfortable accommodations for active transportation (bikes and pedestrians) and provide seamless connections between all modes of transportation.
The project will eliminate the existing hook ramps in the northbound direction connecting to Narvaez Avenue and instead replace them with a direct connection to Capitol Expressway. It will reconfigure the Capitol Expressway cross section to provide all the necessary travel lanes, bike facilities (Class IV bikeways), and pedestrian accommodations.
Narvaez Avenue will be right-sized to accommodate all transportation modes as well. The Capitol Expressway intersections will be squared up and upgraded to enhance service to bicycles and pedestrian users while maintaining a high level of service for vehicular traffic and LRT station access from Capitol Expressway will
be reconfigured.
HMH led the Alternative Analysis and preparation of the PSR-PDS to satisfy Caltrans requirements for the PID Phase. HMH is currently leading efforts in the PA&ED Phase in preparation of an EIR and PR.
Initially envisioned by Rotarian Julie Matsushima, who recognized the disparity of play spaces often isolates children with special needs, had a desire to witness her twin granddaughters play together. As one was born with cerebral palsy, this became the catalyst to use her platform as past president of the Rotary Club of San Jose to have the PlayGarden’s construction be the focus of the Centennial project. It also wonderfully serves as a centennial gift to the community.
The San Jose Rotary PlayGarden is the city’s first all-inclusive play space opened in May 2015, featuring a variety of dynamic and fun play structures designed to be used by all abilities, and even surpassing ADA requirements. Beautifully nestled in the Guadalupe Gardens adjacent to the Guadalupe River, it promotes fun and connection to the surrounding ecology, while empowering the entire community to play, discover and connect with one another. The park facilitates play spanning from the tentative to the robust and allows for repose as well as activity—children can engage by rotating, swinging, sliding, climbing, spinning, and bouncing with equipment and elements that vary in kinetics and tactility. Elements such as sand, water, and a wheelchair-accessible carousel stimulate different types of play within an encouraging collaborative layout.
The 5-acre PlayGarden is situated alongside a tributary of San Francisco Bay and directly in an airport flightpath, features an estuarine slough-shaped motif, with imagery of waving grasses, flowing water, and animals moving with ease through water and air. The sinuous, unbounded nature of an aquatic environment mirrors what the design seeks to evoke: physical motion, and the sense of possibility inherent in long vistas, water, and flight. Part of the park’s legacy involves the use of staff and volunteers with special needs to help with maintenance. The Santa Clara County Office of Education and San Andreas Regional Center also support programming at the facility for their clients. The Rotary Club is also funded by community donations.
HMH provided landscape architecture services to enhance its inviting nature.
The Foster City levee system, surrounding the majority of the outer bay-front perimeter of the City, is crucial in providing protection from flood hazards and storms. In 2014, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) determined that our levee system does not meet minimum requirements for flood protection.
To protect people and property and avoid designating Foster City as a flood zone (which would require expensive flood insurance for most home owners), voters passed Measure P in 2018 to fund the necessary levee improvements.
The Levee Improvements Project will increase the height and width of the levee to improve protection against storm/tide surges, meet sea level rise projections through the year 2050, maintain FEMA accreditation, and make the levee more resistant to earthquakes. The project also includes redevelopment and widening of the Levee/Bay Trail, which will provide the community with an enhanced, more inviting recreation destination.
After a four-months-long study and research period to gain insights on how to improve the existing experience, the San Jose Flea Market came up with Garden at the Flea, which opened in April 2019.
Having unfolded steps away from the recently developed Berryessa BART Station, it’s a brand new expansion using aesthetics to hearken back to San Jose’s agricultural “Valley of the Heart’s Delight” aesthetic. The expansion primarily features beautiful new green spaces for attendees to enjoy, including an actual garden featuring sustainable California flowers and plants. Additionally, the space will offer a new beer garden experience, a games area and a food truck park allowing for both existing food trucks and new food trucks to be a part of Garden at the Flea and an exciting new live performance space with the capacity to host larger scale events.
HMH contributed to this project by providing design ideas for the landscape layout and expansion of the space, and consultation on the most sustainable planting options for the garden, and how to seamlessly integrate it with the entire ambiance of the overall market space.
