The Flindt Garden Bollard at The Terraces, Mission Rock
At the heart of San Francisco’s newly developed Mission Rock district, The Terraces offer a serene yet dynamic public landscape, an urban oasis designed to bring people together against the backdrop of the city’s waterfront. While the space serves as a venue for private events, its essence is rooted in openness, ecology, and community.
Within this thoughtfully designed environment, Louis Poulsen’s Flindt Garden Bollard plays a quiet yet commanding role. Seamlessly integrated into the landscape, these sculptural luminaires elevate the experience of the space after dark, offering soft, sculpted light that enhances pathways and accentuates the surrounding natural textures.
Originally designed by Christian Flindt, the Flindt Garden Bollard embodies a balance between form and function, light and landscape. Its elliptical shape and asymmetrical opening cast light downward in a graceful arc, ensuring visibility without glare and allowing the warm glow to guide rather than dominate. In The Terraces, this subtle illumination mirrors the project’s core philosophy, design that unites people, nature, and the urban fabric.
With The Terraces, Mission Rock sets a new precedent for mixed-use developments that blend ecology, architecture, and design integrity. The inclusion of Louis Poulsen’s lighting continues that vision, creating spaces that feel both inviting and timeless, where light becomes not just a utility, but a shared experience of connection and calm.
