The renovation of a 5,000 square foot office space at 22 Battery Street, in a notable historic building in San Francisco’s business district, represents a blend of modern functionality and historical preservation.
Commissioned by Duncan Channon, Inc., the project was skillfully executed by Interactive Resources, Inc. to meet the dual needs of a contemporary advertising agency while respecting the building’s historic heritage. The design introduces a series of new features: an oval-shaped bar equipped with the latest appliances, elegant lighting fixtures, and sophisticated architectural finishes, complemented by practical cabinetry and a multifunctional island that bridges the bar and kitchen areas. These elements are thoughtfully integrated to facilitate both day-to-day operations and client entertainment, ensuring a seamless transition between work and social interaction. The project navigated the complexities of modernizing a registered historic site, while addressing accessibility standards without compromising the building’s original character.
The outcome is a workspace that is efficient, code compliant, inviting and versatile. Interactive Resources, Inc. fulfilled the client’s vision for a space that integrates productivity, as well as hospitality. The successful completion of this project stands as a testament to the possibility of harmonizing contemporary design with historical integrity.
