DIAP’s involvement in this project was inspired by a vision for the future of the Peninsula.  One day, when landing in San Francisco on an airplane, we realized that the Peninsula is being overtaken by parking lots.  Along with this, the Peninsula is ridden with other problems, including:                           

After finding solutions for these problems all over the world, we saw no reason not to fix them in our own backyard.

 

If you live in Burlingame, you are probably well aware of the efforts that have been made by various parties over many years to decide what steps to take to improve the Safeway site.  Ideas have been presented, and proposals have been made, but none yet have been approved.  The DIAP team thought about this, and found a simple solution.  The problem was not the design of the store, but the entire concept.  The residents of Burlingame are unique and sophisticated.  Burlingame Avenue and it’s neighbors are home to fine restaurants, fashion-forward boutiques, and social hot-spots.  Our inspiration was to create a mixed-use gateway into downtown Burlingame that reflects it’s spirit, while fulfilling the needs of the community.
