Sunset Parklet is a public seating area located in San Francisco, California, designed by INTERSTICE Architects.

They said about the project: “The Sunset Parklet is a public parklet hosted by Other Avenues Food Store and Sea Breeze Café on Judah St. between 44th and 45th Avenue. The parklet consists of 4 “strips” that undulate along the length of the parklet, providing built-in seating, tables, and native planting. It includes a dog watering area with leash ties to assist dog owners, and a built-in bicycle rack and pump station to engage cyclists. The entire 50 foot (15 mt) long site was conceptually divided into 4 equal 18” parallel strips which start aligned at he uphill eastern edge – to create an MTA approved Bike Parking platform. Like a coastal edge they continue flat, beach-like, until they suddenly diverge vertically to follow seemingly independent programmatic objectives. It is constructed of sustainable and reclaimed materials.”
