MIN DESIGN ACTIVATES URBAN LIFE THROUGH THOUGHTFUL AND PLAYFUL DESIGNS
TWO RECENTLY COMPLETED URBAN PROJECTS DEMONSTRATE MIN DESIGN’ S UNIQUE ABILITY TO INSPIRE JOY AND PLAYFULNESS IN PUBLIC SPACES
Min Design, an award-winning design studio led by E. B. Min, AIA, is known for creating spaces that blend a passion for architecture, landscape design, and art. The studio approaches each project as a unique creative challenge, seeking to infuse everyday living with pleasure and delight. Driven by engaged and thoughtful problem-solving, the studio designs public spaces that bridge structure and human interaction, creating environments that foster vitality, community engagement, and playful experiences. Min Design’ s spaces are not merely functional; they also inspire joyfilled, enriching experiences.
These newly revealed projects reflect the studio’ s distinct architectural approach within San Francisco’ s new Mission Rock neighborhood, a gathering place and regional destination developed by Mission Rock Partners( San Francisco Giants, Tishman Speyer, and the Port of San Francisco).
China Basin Park restroom
For China Basin Park, a dynamic five-acre public space, Min Design thoughtfully integrated the design of the public restrooms, ensuring they seamlessly blend in with the park’ s aesthetic and functionality. Driven by an innovative approach, the studio conceived an all-gender restroom solution designed to enhance safety, equity, convenience, and visibility for park visitors.
