VISA Building

Overview

Designed by Henning Larsen architects out of Copenhagen, the Visa Building is inspired by the geologic rock formations of California’s Devil’s Postpile in Yosemite National Park. The design features an iconic faceted façade, accented by lush green terraces which ascend the podium and visually extend the experience of China Basin Park up the building’s exterior. Carving of the massing into smaller bays creates a dynamic and varied appearance from the street level, reminiscent of beloved San Francisco neighborhoods.
