Hello, My name is Katie Bottrell and I call San Luis Obispo my hometown. My family has owned a ranch in Edna Valley for 35 years and I have had the pleasure of forming many memories in downtown San Luis Obispo. I recently moved away from San Luis Obispo for my career but I come back often to visit my family and friends; we always visit the downtown area. Two weeks ago I walked by your new building and wanted to let you know how much I love it. The building is stunning and the grey color is a welcome change compared to the typical mission-style buildings otherwise seen downtown. Downtown San Luis Obispo has been in desperate need of some architectural updating so I’m glad to see it FINALLY happening! THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS!

The building is a wonderful addition to the downtown area. Its modern architecture is timeless and compliments the renovations that have recently taken place in downtown. I am particularly impressed with the use of the dark cement juxtaposed against the light wood. The two elements compliment each other quite well. The simplicity of the dark cement in particular brings out the greenery that surrounds the building which emphasizes the natural beauty of the city. It appears that as the newly planted greenery mature the building's design will reach its true potential. It appears the proximity to the Frank Lloyd Wright designed building and his legacy of designing around nature seems to have been a strong influence on the building. The modern lines and elements are well done. It appears that there was great attention to detail in creating a building that is able to both make a statement and still fit in with the eclectic styles within the city. I know that this building will attract new business to the area and create the atmosphere that the city is looking for in its downtown area.

To:1135santarosa@gmail.com Subject:1135 Santa Rosa Categories:Blue Category To whom it may concern, I am writing to express my opinion on the new office building located at 1135 Santa Rosa. I am acutely aware of the architectural climate of San Luis Obispo, having lived and worked there for over 18 years as an architectural student and architect. Through my time as a student and eventually as a member of the professional realm, I was involved in helping to discuss, challenge and shape the built environment of SLO through many built projects. The ongoing discussion of architectural variety in San Luis Obispo is deeply routed, and usually contentious, among those who are doing and those who are resistant to change. The new office building at 1135 Santa Rosa is an example of a building that has gone through the rigors of community planning, public meetings and design guidelines and has, thankfully, maintained its integrity. By not bending the nostalgic whims of those who maintain to uphold the historic fabric of San Luis Obispo, the building has set itself up to represent a building typology that will encourage further development, and stand as a supporting contrast to the actual historic buildings that we all adore and cherish. Contemporary architecture has the unique opportunity to utilize current building materials and methods to become its own precedent, instead of cheaply mimicking methods of the past. The dark colors mixed with the stained wood along with the careful attention to massing and how these materials come together are what make this building unique and worth supporting. This office building will anchor the downtown core as both a thoughtful nod to the past and a meaningful gesture looking to the future. I hope that my opinion helps in the discussion of how to maintain design integrity and positive growth in San Luis Obispo.

For years this location was the home to an aging building housing a local bank. There were obvious signs of ongoing deferred maintenance, in all honesty the building looked half abandoned and was an eye sore. The newly constructed building is a breath of fresh air in a town which is continuing to grow and change in a positive direction. The use of stucco and cedar siding with contrasting colors is inline with other new buildings buildings in town and along the central coast. I particularly like the color of the building as I feel it blends in well with the surrounding area, as opposed to a bright white building similar to the new Monterrey Street development. I have heard nothing but positive feedback on the building from members of our community. We don't live in a homogeneous society nor do we want our society to look or feel that way. Allowing for diversity in architecture is paramount in keeping the look and feel of downtown SLO unique.

I'm honestly surprised that anyone could have a negative reaction to such a beautiful, modern building. The darker color contrasts beautifully with the cedar siding and matches the landscaping perfectly.

While we may not have been born and raised here, we've spent the past 16 years in beautiful SLO county and the past 5 years living a few blocks from the heart of downtown. We've witnessed quite a lot of change and growth in the downtown district and are overjoyed with the revenue it has generated for most of our community. So for some, change is a positive thing. Over the past couple years we watched the eyesore of the dilapidated former Heritage Oaks Bank building (attract the attention of various homeless/vagrants) transform into a wonderful piece of attractive modern architecture to help beautify a corner of our downtown. While I understand modern architecture and it's color scheme isn't everyone's cup of tea and some are more conservative or traditional in their tastes, I think the combination of older and traditional style mixed in with the newer modern style is what makes living in and being a part of the downtown Slo community so unique and wonderful. I absolutely LOVE the design and color scheme of 1135 Santa Rosa and the close attention to detail both outside and within...so much so that my husband and I want to rent space from the owners. We think the grey color with the wood contrast is fabulous and the yellow roses surrounding the building add such a friendly touch.

I would like to offer a contrary point of view and support the design. Cities grow over time, as buildings are replaced their styles change and the city evolves and becomes a collection of styles. There are many examples of cities which try to enforce a certain style which ends up looking forced and fake. This buildings bold color choice of the stucco is contemporary and very much in style at this point in time. I think the objection is what happens if and when this color palette goes out of style. The answer is simple, paint it. This seems like a very easy fix. Think of other materials which have gone out of style that are so much harder to fix, faux columns, rough troweled stucco, mansard roofs, redwood siding, cedar shingle roofs, mirrored glass curtain walls. All of these require a major overhaul to stay current and depending on their execution may or may not remain in style for years to come. A paint job seems like a much easier update than dealing most of the others… Bottom line, This contemporary style building is very popular right now and desired in the market place, so it clearly fits here and now. There are a dozen examples of similar architecture and colors in and around town. I think it fits in its context and if it should fall out of style it is easily adaptable. Those who dislike this building should concentrate their efforts somewhere else, somewhere they could make a positive change.

Gulfstream Financial Group's building is such a beautiful new addition to downtown SLO! A few weeks ago, I was in town to check on some maintenance items & upgrades I'm making to the Kardel Building across the intersection. I was delighted to see the finishing touches being made to our neighboring property. I appreciate the way that development reflects some of the style elements and brown & grey tones of my building. In terms of architectural design, our intersection now has a very classy look & feel! As a matter of fact, I'm getting ready to replace the cyclone fence along my larger parking lot next door. I'm so taken with the custom built fence along 1135 Santa Rosa that I plan on replicating their fence, or having one built for my property that's complementary in style. Unfortunately, so oftentimes people in your position receive complaints while a much larger number of would- be compliments go unexpressed. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for what you've accomplished in "my" corner of downtown SLO.

The friend then told me the color of the building is being questioned. I hadn't even noticed the color because I noticed the thoughtful and stylish design elements of the building instead.

I am very familiar with the location as I used to bank there when it was Heritage Oaks Bank years back and I have an office around the corner at 1143 Marsh St. First off I think it is a drastic improvement to what was there before. Its aesthetic is modern yet has the natural wood elements which I find soothing to look at. I think they did a nice job with the landscaping around the building as well which softens up the sides along the walkways. Our town is full of character and I think prides itself in unique and special elements and this building follows just that. Why make all of downtown look the same, what a boring walk and drive that would be. I support the design and color choice of this building and am happy to drive and walk by it daily.

The color choices for the building, eaves and garage roll-up are very complimentary to each other. I really like the exterior perimeters designer fence and gorgeous rose garden landscape as well. San Luis Obispo is lucky to have so many new up and coming new and improved structures. I happen to notice that the color of the building seems to be the new and up and coming color choice.

Definition of "Architecture" is both the process and product of planning, designing, and constructing of buildings and other physical structures. Architectural works, in the material of form of buildings, are often perceived as cultural symbols and as works of art. 1135 Santa Rosa delivers on all counts of tasteful and functional architectural design. The materials used, paint color, wood siding and landscaping all are a nice addition to downtown SLO. So then any objection of the "look and feel" is based on personal perception or not in my back yard opinion. My home is on Pismo Street in the "Historical District" and I walk by 1135 Santa Rosa several times a day, I like it in my backyard! Once again, my personal perception is this office building brings very tasteful architectural design to downtown SLO.

I was born and raised on the Central Coast and as a Cal Poly graduate (3rd Generation) I've spent a lot of time in that wonderful town. I personally find it refreshing to see a sprinkling of modern design in the downtown area. I believe it adds some much needed contrast to the area and it reflects the diversity of California. The smooth grey stucco and the cedar siding really break up the monotony of the traditional off white Spanish style architecture. Don't get me wrong, I love Spanish style architecture but California and the Central Coast have a vibrant and varied history and so should its architecture. Being that I'm in the construction and development industry I can tell the developer spared no expense with smooth finish stucco, real wood siding and the architectural metal details. I personally feel this building is a great addition to SLO and I have a feeling tenants will be clamoring to get some space in there.

We are lucky to have a beautiful & thriving downtown! It is a true pleasure to see so many new projects finally come to fruition and improve the aesthetics of the downtown area included the Monterey Street corridor, Hotel Sera & Hotel San Luis Obispo. The new building on 1135 Santa Rosa is no different. It has turned a drab structure on a heavily traveled corner into an architectural show piece while keeping with the overall character of our downtown. I encourage the City to continue to support and approve similar projects!
