The Exchange strategically occupies the intersection of the residential and light industrial Dogpatch neighborhood in downtown San Francisco, an area characterized by its vibrant culture and emerging arts district, alongside the larger office buildings of the Mission Bay District and UCSF campus. Initially situated in a less-developed area of downtown, the project aimed to celebrate its unique location by enhancing the architecture. DPA commissioned work with renowned Brazilian artist, Eduardo Kobra to create a striking mural, bringing life and energy to the surroundings.
