600 El Camino, Belmont
Located in the greater downtown area of Belmont, within steps from the Belmont Cal Train station, 600 El Camino is a three-story mixed-use building with approximately 12,000 SF commercial and 32 luxury condominiums. The building consists of two residential floors over the grade level commercial and parking areas, with the units ranging from 1- bedroom to 3-bedroom units.
The front façade is composed of four front facing segments with deep recessed areas in between providing privatized decks and open space away from the street. The recessed areas provide a glimpse of residential texture and are articulated with connections from the roof lines above. The materials and palette are a gradation of light warmer tones at the masses with highlights of metal zinc and copper colors at the overhangs and roof lines, taking inspiration from the natural colors and hillsides in the background.
