Pimentel Place

  • Hayward, California
  • EAH Housing

A rhythmically designed building tucked into a tight downtown corner; Pimentel Place brings movement and character to the urban fabric.

Its playful façade—composed of shifting planes and bold color blocks—creates a visual cadence that enlivens the street and reflects the dynamic energy of city life. Designed with families in mind, Pimentel Place pairs architectural creativity with everyday comfort. An on-site playground invites kids to play just steps from home, while a spacious community room gives residents a welcoming place to gather, celebrate, and connect.

To make the most of its compact site, the design integrates surface and tuck-under parking, preserving open space and maintaining a pedestrian-friendly scale. Eliminating the need for a podium deck allowed for a more approachable form, while maintaining full parking capacity and keeping the project efficient and cost-effective. With bold design moves and thoughtful amenities, Pimentel Place offers affordable housing that feels expressive and grounded.
