The SOM-designed 555 California Street was completed in 1969 and still stands as San Francisco’s third-tallest building. Originally conceived as the world headquarters for Bank of America, the tenancy still leans towards a financial service and hedgefund clientele. Facing competition with glitzier highrises in the city’s SOMA neighborhood, Vornado wanted to build out a show suite that could demonstrate to prospective tenants the incredible possibilities their building could afford.
Occupying the southwest corner of the 34th Floor, the show suite offers stunning views overlooking the city, bay, and natural scenery beyond. The building’s zigzagged profile inspired a motif of chamfered corners that adorns millwork elements throughout. Drawing inspiration from the surrounding city, a warm and tactile material palette creates an inviting hospitality-leaning office space.
