Congrats to all of the Winthrop Center team members for winning a Green GOOD DESIGN Award from The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies and The Chicago Athenaeum Museum for Architecture and Design (quite a mouthful!).

Some great shots by Scott Hargis of 531 Bryant, located in San Francisco's Central SOMA neighborhood. The exterior is characterized by a warm, gridded metal facade; inside, the lobby embraces rectilinear geometry with a cantilevered reception desk of Calacatta marble and a permeable wall of floor-to-ceiling white oak slats. A landscaped rooftop terrace offers panoramic views of the San Francisco skyline.   Congratulations to our client, Urban Land Development, LLC, and the project team of Glenn Rescalvo, Harriet Chang, Julia Leister, and Alexandra Prior.
