San Francisco Chinese Alliance Church
San Francisco, CA

The San Francisco Alliance Church and Community Service Facility located in the Sunset District of San Francisco includes Sunday school classrooms, a child care center, social hall, commercial kitchen, research library, administrative offices, a 400 seat sanctuary, enclosed parking, and a landscaped roof terrace for outdoor assemblies.  The main congregation areas and outdoor terrace, located at the second floor level in order to accommodate large public functions on an extremely tight site, overlook the entrance to the Church and the residential neighborhood beyond. Relating to the surrounding residential character and scale was a major design consideration as the Church has become a vital and integral part of the community. The four story building meets full accessibility requirements by elevator and ramps.
