UCSD Hillcrest

UCSD Hillcrest combines modern design with durable, high-performing materials. Pure + FreeForm’s custom woodgrain finish brings warmth and texture to the building, used on both the exterior fins while transitioning to the interior elevator shafts to create a consistent visual identity throughout. The exterior fins provide shading and add depth to the façade, while the interior application enhances wayfinding and complements the clean architectural lines. The woodgrain finish delivers the look of natural wood with the long-term performance and low maintenance of aluminum, an ideal solution for a healthcare environment focused on quality, durability, and design.
