San Francisco, CA
50 Jones
Scope/Solutions
The new apartment building bordered by Jones Street, Golden Gate Avenue, and Market Street brings much-needed housing to San Francisco’s Mid-Market neighborhood. Designed to complement the surrounding theater district, the fourteen-story building features opaque wall panels and punched windows. SGH consulted on the building enclosure design for the project.
SGH assisted with designing waterproofing; exterior facades featuring precast concrete panels, fiber cement rainscreen, storefront, and punched windows; and roofing. Highlights of our work include:
- Consulted on the waterproofing design for the below-grade basement, landscaped courtyard, and private terraces along with roofing at several levels, including amenity roof deck areas
- Provided recommendations to improve the waterproofing performance and integrate the various systems, including transitions and integrations between 50 Jones and the existing adjacent structures
- Created sketches to convey proposed details
- Consulted on a performance mockup for the exterior wall assemblies
- Reviewed related submittals, observed ongoing construction, and witnessed performance testing to compare with the design intent and project requirements
- Evaluated variations in the as-built details and helped develop solutions
