Brick designed the new workplace for Visa in Palo Alto as a mixed-use project to take advantage of the added height benefit allowed by the planning code.

By locating the housing next to Visa’s offices on the same lot, the offices enjoy huge windows and roof deck views, while the well-proportioned town homes face a public park.
