Field House | San Mateo, CA

At the Bay Meadows development in San Mateo, a growing neighborhood was taking shape around an active urban lifestyle. Wilson Meany envisioned Field House, a 108-unit apartment complex at 2829 E Kyne St, as a place where residents could share in that energy every day.

The project arrived entitled by MBH Architects, and the task ahead was to carry that framework into a building that could hold its own within Bay Meadows. That meant reconciling modern and traditional styles through form, materials and landscape, and fitting a full amenity program into VA / IA construction. Working with the client after entitlement, BDE Architecture helped shape an exterior that pairs a contemporary palette of glass, steel and ipê wood with traditional stucco and siding.

Completed in 2015, Field House reinforces the community's active lifestyle with a community room with custom kitchen and Wi-Fi media lounge, a pool, a fitness center, indoor bike storage and two landscaped barbecue areas. Residents gain homes with places to gather, cook, train and unwind, all connected to the wider Bay Meadows neighborhood.
