Foster + Partners has unveiled its completed restoration of the Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco, Building Design is among outlets to report. This is the largest renovation of the world-famous 48-story tower since it opened in 1972. The building was San Francisco’s tallest for almost 50 years. Foster + Partners was appointed by real estate firm SHVO for the restoration of the tower and its wider complex, which occupies an entire city block in the city’s Financial District. In the lobby, users can enjoy a cafe, florist and bookshop. At the rear of the lobby, the tower’s annex has been restored with new skylights providing views of the park below. The middle of the tower hosts a fitness center comprising a gym, sauna and yoga studios, as well as a sky lobby, while the tower is topped by an exclusive bar for office tenants. The Pyramid’s famous spire will also be re-lit for the first time with more than 1,300 ft of newly installed LED lights as part of a comprehensive new lighting design of both the interior and exterior by L’Observatoire International.
