The conference tables have welded aluminum bases and vertical grain maple tops. A single 12 ft. high by 14 ft. wide pocket door, and 12 ft. high accordion doors have steel frames with polycarbonate panels.

"...Respectful of the early 1900's building, the interior design firm devised a semi-transparent solution to take advantage of extensive fenestration. The scheme was also designed to read as a distinct structure within the solid brick and concrete envelope. The end result is simple, efficient, and accomodates a staff of 40 within a long, narrow, two-story space measuring 9,800 sq.ft..."

Polygal polycarbonate, aluminum, perforated steel and maple are the main elements for this San Francisco advertising company. Historic brick walls and metal windows contrast with the crisp interiors. Small elevators and winding stairs forced us to swing most of the material up too the eighth floor with a crane. Enormous steel conference room doors and custom maple casework are part of the kit of parts for this project. It was detailed all the way down to custom perforated stainless steel light diffusers.
