Bringing quality, affordable, personal care to downtown Sacramento
Reflecting a demographic shift to urban centers, Kaiser Permanente was looking to create a strong foundation of care in Sacramento. Their plan? Opening the Downtown Commons Medical Offices, the transformation of a six-story office building and adjacent four-level parking garage.
We improved energy efficiency by re-cladding the building and installing digitally-connected, smart window glass throughout. Plus, the addition of a two-story glazed curtain wall entry brings light and warmth to the pedestrian entrance. The parking garage includes a new elevator and glass vestibule, and we developed a coordinated color palette that, along with a landscaped central courtyard, serves as a wayfinding tool. The interior design also includes a strong art program with several pieces of local and regional art.
Downtown Commons has clinics for adult medicine, obstetrics, pediatric, and family services, as well as imaging and lab services. The sixth floor is dedicated to cancer treatment, and lower floors are dedicated to retail, pharmacy, and public spaces—including a lobby café.
Located in the downtown core just a few blocks from the state capitol, the Downtown Commons Medical Offices is now a singular experience for members.
