Redwood City Hall is a part of a larger mixed-use urban development with housing and retail/commercial spaces. Carducci Associates’ design for the project focused on creation of public space for day and evening use, sensitivity to existing mature trees, and integration of the site with the City Hall. The City Hall building was shaped around existing mature trees, which include a Coast Redwood that is a special landmark, serving as the city’s living holiday tree. A plaza space allows for outdoor music and art events, and adds to the City Hall’s identity as a vibrant community hub.
