CASE STUDY
REHABS AND RESTORATIONS
Fixin' up the Ritz
The San Francisco Ritz Carlton Condominiums and Residences undergoes a restoration.
Built in 1890, the Chronicle "DeYoung" Building was the first Skyscraper in San Francisco and, at the time, the tallest building in the West. In the 1950s, the building was modernized during the Minimalist period of Architecture. The entry bay was completely shorn off, and the second story and upward was clad in metal panels. With the complete restoration to its original architectural facade in mind, Ritz Carlton purchased the building for its San Francisco Third and Market Street Condominiums and Residence project.
A SOLUTION
With the guidance of Frank Bracken and Maurice Lafayette, the team at Architectural Facades Unlimited (AFU) recreated the 14-story entry bay detail of the building, which had been shorn off for the metal panels.
