Plant created 15 new guestrooms in previously under-utilized space within an existing historic hotel in the heart of San Francisco’s Union Square/theater district.

Joel Boardman — Thu, 11 Sep 2014 00:08:46 +0000

The Westin purchased this former Argent Hotel and quickly moved to convert it into a Westin-branded property. Plant delivered a transformed interior and made strategic alterations to the exterior of the building in line with the new owner’s vision. The hotel remained open for business as Plant remodeled 676 guest rooms with new finishes and fixtures, refurbished hotel corridors on all 33-floors, upgraded the building’s fire alarm system, and remodeled the public spaces to accommodate an upscale restaurant, meeting rooms and fitness center. The exterior work involved the installation of a new metal overhang and a small circular drive for guest drop-off and valet service.

Plant returned to the Westin Market Street in 2013 to remodel the building’s public spaces. Construction was scheduled in phases to allow for continuous operation of all hotel services and work included salvaging material for re-purposing, installing custom art features and aiding in the installation of new furnishings.

Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse

Joel Boardman — Thu, 11 Sep 2014 00:00:18 +0000

This Upper Class Clubhouse was completed in very close collaboration with the client who wanted to ensure that the 4,500 sq ft space reflected the aesthetic ideals eschewed by the Virgin brand. As part of this effort, PAW Woodwork built a sleek, 29-foot long metallic bar using blue Chemetal metal laminate. The project was subject to San Francisco Airport’s requirements including the highest-level fire rating, insulation capable of preventing noise and smell transfer from airport activities, and shatter resistant windows.

Equinox Fitness

Joel Boardman — Tue, 09 Sep 2014 21:35:22 +0000

This upscale fitness club is located in the former headquarters of the Pacific Stock Exchange, a 1929 Art Deco jewel in the heart of the San Francisco’s financial district. The centerpiece of the Exchange Building is the trading hall, with its soaring 45-foot high glass ceiling. This grand open space now houses the main exercise floor while a significant portion of the club was built below street level and on the ground floors of the neighboring 155 Sansome Tower, also an Art Deco landmark. These floors now house a yoga studio, spa and 25-yard lap pool. The project included extensive demolition and conversion of 34,000 sq ft to adapt the space and create dynamic interiors for the club’s youthful corporate clients.
