The courtyard landscape and perimeter streetscape for The Infinity, a luxury residential development by Arquitectonica for Tishman Speyer that occupies half of a city block in downtown San Francisco, creates a public / private realm that is both of and removed from the city. Built on structure over 6 levels of below-grade parking the central courtyard is punctuated by a series of whimsical garden islands with seating that provide color, shade and a meandering path of movement through the space. Sculptural seating terraces and glass skylights create a transition to the upper courtyard and provide reflections of light and shadow on the pool in the fitness center below. A lively water wall animates the central courtyard plaza and transfers light and sound to the pedestrian entrance of the parking garage below. Innovative accent lighting provides visual intrigue and showcases the illuminated water wall and sculptural terraces at night.
