288 Pacific San Francisco
In the heart of downtown San Francisco's historic Jackson Square neighborhood, 288 Pacific emerges as a remarkable residential development, offering a unique blend of contemporary luxury and rich historical significance. Developed by Grosvenor Americas in collaboration with Handel Architects, this project is a testament to thoughtful design and urban renaissance.
Design Aesthetic: A Nod to History and Modernity
The architectural vision for 288 Pacific was to create a building that aligns seamlessly with the surrounding Gold Rush-era buildings and the neighborhood's waterfront. The result is a structure that not only respects the historical context but also contributes to the area's recent urban revival. The building's exterior and interiors are a modern interpretation of the historic vernacular, with furnishings influenced by Art Deco and Italian Mid-Century styles, echoing the elegance of the surrounding antique galleries.
Luxurious Interiors and Thoughtful Details
The residences at 288 Pacific are characterized by their generous ceiling heights, wide plank floors, and fumed oak cabinetry, creating an atmosphere of sophisticated comfort. Plumbing fixtures by Waterworks add a touch of refined elegance, ensuring that every detail contributes to an overall sense of bespoke luxury. The 11-foot high ceilings in each unit enhance the sense of space and grandeur, making these homes not just living spaces but personal sanctuaries.
Unique Historical Discovery: The 'Arkansas'
During the development of 288 Pacific, an archaeological excavation led to a fascinating discovery: the remains of the 'Arkansas,' a legendary ship from the Gold Rush era. In honoring the city's request, Grosvenor Americas preserved the ship's location, leaving it untouched by construction. This decision reflects a deep respect for the site's historical significance and adds a unique narrative layer to the development.
Rooftop Terraces and Salon Lobby
The building features beautifully-appointed rooftop terraces, offering residents a private escape with stunning views of the city. The salon lobby, graced with high ceilings and elegant furnishings, provides a warm welcome to residents and guests alike, setting the tone for the luxury that defines 288 Pacific.
