After master planning a 12-block City Center Redevelopment Project, VBN designed the initial retail and office complex known as City Square. This project consists of four buildings designed on the deck of the existing City Center Parking Garage, for 235,000 square feet of retail and office space in three-story low-rise configuration around a sunny outdoor square.This project was technically complex due to the loading characteristics of the garage, which required use of lightweight materials and modular construction transferring the loads efficiently to the existing garage structure. To bring pedestrians into the heart of City Square, the existing John B. Williams Plaza off the 12th Street/City Center BART Station was renovated to add new escalators, as well as new lighting, paving and other features. Also as part of the infrastructure development of Downtown Oaklands City Center, the City Center West, 1,465-car garage is strategically located in the midst of this future development area. The garage paved a new mid-block pedestrian plaza and amphitheater with sculptures created by Stephen De Staebler.City Center West provides opportunities for ground level retail amenities along the Center Walk that serves the plaza and adjoining development. The landscape screen wall on the outer layer of the garage enriches the pedestrian experience at the street level, and provides an overall softening of the buildings urban facade.该项目位于美国加利福尼亚州奥克兰市，占地235,000平方英尺。 经过总体规划后的12块城市中心重建项目中，VBN设计了涵盖初始零售业态和办公空间复合的城市广场。该项目包括在现有的城市中心停车场的基础上设计的四个大厦，235,000平方英尺的零售业态和办公空间，3层的低层配置的办公室空间围绕着一个阳光明媚的户外广场。 该项目由于涉及到受力技术复杂的车库，所以需要采用轻质材料和模块化结构的荷载有效地转移到现有车库结构。为了使行人进入核心城市广场，现有的约翰B威廉姆斯广场第12街道或城市中心区捷运车站装修添加新的自动扶梯，以及新的照明，道路和其他功能。 此外，作为奥克兰市中心的基础设施发展一部分的西部城市中心地区，1465车库坐落在这一地区未来的发展的重要战略位置上。车库铺了一条新的中块有斯蒂芬雕塑的步行广场和竞技场。 西部城市中心区为广场和毗邻发展服务的中心步行区的零售业态提供机会。在车库的外面层数的景观屏幕墙壁丰富步行经验在街道水平，并提供了一个全面软化城市的建筑物外墙。总平面图实景
