YIMBY: Tenderloin Addition is one of Blitzer Design Co.'s most cherished projects. Renovating the backyard at 375 Eddy Street in the Tenderloin and transforming a neglected youth-serving outdoor space into an urban oasis was a true all-hands-on-deck effort.
This project was built on the expertise of esteemed Landscape Designer Dana Betterly of Betterly Garden Design and Concrete Artist Austin Kanfoush of Kanfoush Custom Concrete.
The primary goal was to infuse the space with healthy and sustainable design elements to address watershed challenges while requiring minimal maintenance. Additionally, the project aimed to support ongoing youth development programming. With flexible seating and infrastructure, this space was carefully curated to adapt to the changing needs of the community over time.
