genesis marina | brisbane, ca

GENESIS MARINA IS A NEW WATERFRONT LIFE SCIENCE CAMPUS, OVERLOOKING SAN FRANCISCO BAY. THE SITE CONNECTS AN ELEVATED COURTYARD TO THE WATERFRONT THROUGH A SERIES OF TERRACES, RAMPS, AND STADIUM STEPS, EXTENDING THE PUBLIC BAY TRAIL ALONG THE SHORELINE. SITE AND BAY TRAIL LIGHTING WAS CAREFULLY CONTROLLED IN RESPONSE TO THE SENSITIVE SHORELINE HABITAT, WITH LOW-LEVEL LIGHTING HELPING DEFINE THE PATH OF TRAVEL AFTER DUSK. AT THE STADIUM STEPS, ILLUMINATION REINFORCES THE CONNECTION BETWEEN INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR SPACES. within the building, the lighting scope focused on the main lobby. here, lighting quietly complements the expansive glazed facade, while a cascading composition of luminous globes moves through the stepped circulation, creating a sculptural focal point visible from the exterior after dark.
