Talmadge Gateway is a senior complex in San Diego. It is special housing for homeless residents who have illness. An amazing demographic that really needs this special architecture (Studio E). I’m happy to be involved with it through Wakeland Housing and Jonathan Taylor as the Project Manager.
The piece is located between two bioswales and is visible from many locations within the complex. Its brightness catches and holds attention and for me, its a great focus to train the mind into a calm yet somehow vibrant state.
