531 Bryant Interiors

Status Completed in 2024

The interiors of 531 Bryant reflect the industrial context of San Francisco's SoMA neighborhood.

531 Bryant is a new six-story office development offering 50,000 SF of Class A office space in San Francisco's vibrant Central SOMA neighborhood. The building's lobby is designed to reflect neighborhood's industrial past and complement architectural language of the structure's striking, geometric copper-gridded exterior facade. The result is a loft-like experience with generous, 20' floor-to-floor ceiling heights and an interiors approach that embraces rectilinear geometry, juxtaposes industrial and luxury materials, and utilizes a warm, jewel toned palette to craft cohesive visual flow from the exterior to the interior.

Interiors are designed to complement architectural language of the structure's striking, copper-gridded facade.

The building's architectural elements find their counterparts in the interior's metal accents, warm palette, and linear geometry, creating a cohesive visual flow from the outside in.

A cantilevered reception desk crafted from interlocking volumes of white Calacatta marble and brass anchors the entry.

Behind, a porcelain tile wall with spiderweb veining contrasts with the industrial concrete floor and ceiling, offering a playful juxtaposition of materials.

Permeable walls of floor-to-ceiling white oak slats offer a warmth and emphasizing ceiling heights while allowing privacy to the back of the house.

Light floods from oversized, studio windows, a feature embraced by the lobby's open plan and permeable walls.

Steel-tube framed chairs echo the space's industrial theme, while red upholstery provides a pop of color.

Low, rounded seating offer a soft contrast to the linear design, tall ceilings, and solid stone coffee table. Above, a delicate lighting fixture of 10-sided, gem-cut spheres hang at unique, predetermined lengths for an organic, cascading look.
