The Rise Hayes Valley

SGH consulted on the designs for waterproofing, exterior walls, fenestration systems, and roofing. Highlights of our work include:

• Reviewing the proposed design and providing recommendations to improve the building enclosure performance and constructability
• Developing details to integrate the various systems, including interfaces and expansion joints between The Rise and the existing adjacent properties
• Consulting on the waterproofing design for the below-grade components, including mat slabs, perimeter foundation walls, and elevator and car stacker pits
• Helping the project team select an elastomeric coating for the exposed structural concrete at the building exterior
• Assisting with the design for plaza waterproofing and roofing for low-slope roofs and amenity spaces with landscaped areas and paved assemblies
• Developing details for the transitions between windows/window walls and adjacent cladding assemblies
• Helping with the design and consulting on a performance mockup for the exterior walls, including storefronts, window walls, windows, and metal and plaster cladding
• Reviewing related submittals, observing ongoing construction, and witnessing performance testing to compare with the design intent and project requirements
• Evaluating variations in the as-built details and helping develop solutions
