Rainscreens at Blue Oak Landing | BŌK Modern

BŌK Modern specializes in designing and developing innovative architectural metal panel systems. BŌK Modern crafted corten steel Wallscreens for David Baker Architect's Blue Oak Landing building.

The project aims to provide housing for homeless people in San Francisco by interconnecting two neighboring buildings through a bridge. BŌK Modern's corten steel cladding solution adds functionality to the building and provides a distinct aesthetic appeal within its context. Additionally, the architects incorporated BOK's matching custom rail screens, sunshades, and canopies. The dynamic steel panels are not static structures, as the undulating rail screens offer a three-dimensional effect. Additionally, sunshades and canopies on the two main elevations enhance the project, while protecting it from the elements.

One of the unique aspects of this endeavor is the conscious decision to embrace the weathering process inherent to corten steel. As time passes, the panels will naturally transform, acquiring a rich patina that adds character and depth to the structures. This approach highlights the project's commitment to sustainability and resilience.
