Building 14 was the Heavy Warehouse located at the core of the Bethlehem Steel shipyard of Pier 70, on the southeastern waterfront of San Francisco. The shipyard was originally the Union Iron Works of the 1880’s and then most recently Bethlehem Steel Shipyards of the 1940’s. This district is being protected under the National Register of Historic Places. The work on this building was to completely renovate both exterior and interior of the building. It also included the addition of a mezzanine and seismic bracing. The interior improvements for Obscura Digital were very sparse, including new restrooms, kitchen and a few office spaces on the mezzanine, the reminder of the space will be used as light industrial workshop for this well-known digital production company. We worked very closely with both the landlord and the tenant to make this a very cost effective and elegant buildout closely suited to the tenant’s needs.
