Designer POPOS

Having first discovered this space as a beautiful and all-round well-recieved design of landscape architect Christian Lemon (who, with my former teacher Jennifer Brooke, recently started a fancy new design firm), I was pleasantly surprised to find out it's one of COMMONspace's POPOS as well.

The surveillance and security is a little over the top at 560 Mission. Those evocative steps out to the kinetic sculpture...just for looking, kids.

People using the sunshine.

		Getting there This public open space can be found on the right side of the main entrance of 560 Mission. There is also a rear access along Jessie Street that leads to an enchanting dirt path surrounded by bamboo.

		Surveillance & Gatekeepers There are no obvious security cameras on site but security has full view from their glass encased lobby. Be aware that they will confront you for any out of the ordinary behavior, no matter how insignificant.

		Local Dress & Behavior Business casual to street casual is welcome in this type of environment. Since this space is directly adjacent to the street, it is very well used by the general public, including nearby students. Smoking, eating, talking, or relaxing are all common activities seen here.
