Monday, April 1st, 2024Ireland House in San Francisco, California by William Duff Architects
Wednesday, March 22nd, 2023Article source: William Duff Architects
William Duff Architects (WDA) acted as Project Architect for Ireland House, the new LEED Gold home of three Irish government agencies housed under one roof. The project involved the tenant improvement of the entire 9,755 square feet of the entire floor of a Class A office building in San Francisco. The firm wrapped the core in warm wood paneling along with additional soffit details to create a visual shared hearth that can be experienced throughout the workplace. The “hearth” visually and culturally connects the three programs while allowing each agency to have its own identity. The project also features secured zones and a flexible assembly space that can be used for consulate events that are open to the public.

Wraparound House in San Francisco, California by Spiegel Aihara Workshop
Thursday, September 1st, 2022Article source: Spiegel Aihara Workshop
Spiegel Aihara Workshop (SAW), has designed Wraparound House, an expansive architectural renovation and landscape of a 1930s home in the Marina neighborhood, for a couple with three children. The family was looking for more space to accommodate indoor and outdoor activities for the kids, places to work and entertain, and views of the Bay. The project was also an opportunity to remediate and stabilize the land beneath the home, and for the architects, a conceptual reconsideration of the notion of groundedness through re-distributing the excavated ground vertically.

Battery Ventures II in San Francisco, California by John Lum Architecture
Wednesday, October 21st, 2020Article source: John Lum Architecture
Building off the success of their San Francisco headquarters, VC firm, Battery Ventures, once again turned to John Lum Architecture to head up design. Having outgrown their seventh story penthouse in the middle of the city’s SoMa district, Battery Ventures leased the entire sixth floor, expanding their operations to accommodate an evolving staff and customer base. For their new suite, they sought a progressive workspace that would allow for flexibility, and align with their collaborative corporate culture. To appeal to the firm’s clientele, which ranges from entrepreneurs to blue chips, JLA drew inspiration from midcentury-modern influences, using upbeat color palettes to counterbalance any concern that this is a traditional VC firm.

Publicis Groupe in San Francisco, California by Blitz
Sunday, February 9th, 2020Article source: Blitz
Design
For the San Francisco offices of Publicis Groupe, Blitz employed its new workplace design approach to create a space that promotes a culture of connection, inclusivity, and agility. The offices were designed with the aim to colocate and consolidate the firm’s 11 national and international brands in San Francisco, which employ 550 people previously spread across 120,000 square feet in multiple locations. The result is a dynamic and energetic workspace that reflects the Groupe’s mantra, the Power of One, which served as the key driver for the decision to move all brand agencies under one roof.
Expanding upon the principles of activity‐based workplace design, Blitz provided agile spaces for teams and individuals, while acknowledging the needs of a new mobile workforce. Diverse workstations empower team members to be more effective and engaged than at a traditional assigned desk. Flexible spaces, both open and enclosed, seamlessly integrate access to data, AV, and video conferencing to support a variety of activities throughout the day and encourage crosspollination among brands.
