PROPOSED

PROPOSED

This project intends to update the building’s image and marketplace viability by renovating the existing lobby and adding a new cantilevered entrance canopy. The main focal point is the installation of four color changing, energy efficient LED back lit walls. Nine different lighting selections can be presented, three of which relate to the seasons. Other interior changes include changing the heavy dark marble stone to light Venetian plaster with new fins to add visual interest and protect the Venetian plaster walls. Additional improvements include new tenant signage, as well as replacement of the dark stone on the columns with a light Egyptian Sinaloa limestone.

EXISTING

“Working with FME on the 180 Montgomery lobby and common area reconstruction was a delight from start to finish. They brought creativity, high professionalism, and a keen eye for detailing to this important project. Our objective was to create an identity for the property, but within the constraints of a first class financial district office environment. FME helped us to successfully achieve that goal. A testament to their vision for the project can be seen when comparing the initial design renderings to the result - absolutely spot on.” Ken Perry Chief Investment Officer The Swig Company, LLC

3-D RENDERING

We strived to achieve a “timeless, modern and classic” look by maximizing the frontage along Sansome Street. This was done by capturing the exterior plazas for the interior, and sharing that resultant area with the new lobby and retail spaces. By using a structural glass wall system, we constructed a transparent ground floor lobby in the original arcade space and relocated the flanking retail spaces to the adjacent sides of the building. Warm wood paneling and effective lighting created a much larger, memorable building entrance that was effectively responsible for the rapid re-leasing of the entire office tower.

COMPLETED PROJECT

“Reorienting the retail space to the sides of the building created the opportunity to stretch the lobby across Sansome Street. In doing so, FME created a large and spacious lobby that benefits the marketing of new tenants while creating a new branding statement for the building. FME demonstrated an ability to utilize the capital improvement budget effectively, spending money very strategically to provide maximum visual impact.” Susan Court, RPA Property Manager Cusshman & Wakefield

EXISTING

PROPOSED

This multi-phased lobby renovation intends to increase access, visibility and identity by reconstructing portions of the framing mass of the tower’s base outward of its current location and replacing the existing glazing system with frameless, structural glass. This results in a more dynamic massing of the base relative to the main tower and widens the glazed openings by approximately 40%. Additional improvements include expanding and updating the main lobby from its current side core configuration.

601 MONTGOMERY SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA

Modifications to this existing space included a renovation to the main lobby for this highly visible multi-tenant building in downtown San Francisco. This project also consisted of upgrades to an existing conference center on the 4th floor.

TRANSAMERICA LOBBY SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA

A variety of existing ceiling heights, stepping down from the main lobby to the elevator lobby, generated a series of floating planes that were enhanced with hidden cove and strip lighting to provide for a dramatic but timeless solution for this landmark building.

WINTERGARDEN SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA

The remodel and expansion of this 19-story steel frame office building involved the remodel of the existing first floor lobby and the addition of a two-story Wintergarden. Design of the Wintergarden involved the removal of an existing exterior fountain and extension of the first floor lobby to create a two-story open space enclosed by a curved glass curtain wall.

REVIT CASE STUDY

FME has served as the base building architects for the Pyramid Center (600 Montgomery Street) since 1988. In 2007, the management asked us to re-do the building’s BOMA Calculations. At the time, we were already utilizing Autodesk’s 3D BIM program, Revit, for some test-fit plans as part of the leasing effort. The response and tenant understanding of the plans was so positive that we proposed to use Revit to simultaneously do the calculations and model the building.

The complexity of a continuously tapering building with each floor at a different size argued for the 3D approach. The additional benefits for ongoing management of space, as well as the management of the actual facility, infrastructure and equipment, provides an unequaled package. Going forward, all design and cotruction documents will be in Revit. This allows for an improved understanding of the design and an overall lower cost of build-out and 3D as-built drawings.

REVIT

AMENITIES MAP

FME utilizes Revit to assist our clients in the design process. This 3D software program developed by Autodesk is fully compatible with AutoCad and allows for significant benefits in the design, presentation and construction process. Whether it is test-fits for a potential tenant space or a hypothetical plan for the landlord/leasing team, the Revit model allows for large, mid or small scale examination of the proposed solution.

This provides a whole new level of communication, understanding and, for the non-professional, participation in the decision process. For the first time, the cost vs. value equation can be fully understood with a direct comparison of the proposed end project vs. the proposed budget. Changes are easily accomplished and since they are made in the model, the problems of reconciliation and coordination of documents are greatly reduced.
