Metro Center Parking Garage
Foster City, CA
This new parking garage was designed with extensive use of white split face single score concrete masonry units. The four story glass block staircase at the entry sparkles inside by day and glows with the night light to identify the main entrance.
The statement of individuality and character in the exterior facades is the result of an enlightened architect and a most accomplished masonry craftsman. The use of masonry expresses a serious environment that reflects the quality of the adjacent buildings.
