The Art of Modern
Architecture

The Mission is one of the most energetic, historic and richly layered neighborhoods in the world and the architecture of Vida reflects each of those facets. The fresh, contemporary design and caring craftsmanship are inspired by modern Latin culture – literally weaving the urban fabric of the Mission into the building itself. From the bold, vibrant colors to the way light playfully dances across its stunning façade, Vida echoes the rhythms that those who love the neighborhood know so well. The design melds with the adjacent Art Deco theater marquee to create a dramatic street presence and aesthetic. Come a little closer to the building and you’ll notice a deliberate vertical rhythm to Vida – echoed in both the neighboring marquee and the setbacks on the upper two floors. Just like the Mission itself, the building invites you to explore, uncover and participate in the joy of the local culture.
