2515 El Camino: Sustainability strategies include creating a mixed-used development in a walkable community, as well as: increasing renewable energy use through solar panels; maximizing daylight use through shallow commercial floor-plates and residential unit depths, skylights above the interior residential corridor, and extensive exterior glazing; reducing energy consumption through high-performance VRF HVAC systems and high performance facades; and improving indoor air quality through MERV-13 filers in HVAC systems.

The land development project at 2515 El Camino in Palo Alto was jury-selected for a Citation Award. Hayes Group Architects entitled the one-acre site for its previous owner, then worked with new owner, Huafa Industrial, to transform the property into a dynamic, mixed-use development featuring townhouses, retail and office space, set in a landscaped site with spaces for gathering, shopping and relaxing. Designed to enhance the pedestrian experience and connect to the commercial district a block away, 2515 El Camino plays well to Hayes Group Architects' strengths.<\/p>\r\n

Since its founding in 1996 by Ken Hayes, the firm has entitled, designed, and built more than 200 commercial projects in neighboring Menlo Park and in Palo Alto, known for their rigorous entitlement processes. The City of Palo Alto Architectural Review Board (ARB) administers the Architectural Excellence Awards program, and over the years, has bestowed this quinquennial award on projects by Hayes Group Architects, including 611 Cowper Street. To-date, Hayes Group Architects has received more than 20 awards for its projects around the Bay Area.<\/p>\r\n\n\t\t
