BARNEYS
SAN FRANCISCO
San Francisco
In the heart of the high-end Union Square district, JHA designed a shopping destination that is quintessentially Barneys while retaining the landmark building’s San Francisco charm. The existing structure at 77 O’Farrell Street was originally designed by Lansburgh & Joseph in 1907 as a department store, and has since undergone many transformations. JHA revived the building’s natural heritage for its re-opening in the fall of 2007 while updating the interior and exterior using the Barneys “vocabulary” of mixing handcrafted elements with modern refinement. With the use of natural light, unifying staircases, and thoughtfully designing every one of the seven floors with its own special components, JHA underscored the residential aesthetic of the location.
