Confluence welcomes tenants and visitors with its swirling organic pattern that evokes streets and the diverse shapes of the grids of Berkeley’s streets. Confluence was commissioned for a new housing development in Berkeley. The building was made specifically for youth who need a new footing in life after moving on from the foster care system. Confluence is designed to evoke, inspire and encourage the confluence of community within and without its parameters.
