Converting historic buildings can require not only adapting offices into places suitable for residential living, but also addressing the interventions of previous owners who modified the buildings. One of the first downtown conversions in San Francisco was the former Home Telephone Company at 333 Grant Avenue between Sutter and Bush Streets, designed by Coxhead and Coxhead and built in 1908. The building featured a stone lobby, intact plaster ceilings, and double-height top floor (which once housed large telephone switching gear racks). The design strategy by Huntsman Architectural Group was to remain faithful to the historic fabric of the building while addressing its modern-day use. The exterior of the building was carefully restored to its original grandeur. Wherever possible, original brick, sandstone, steel, and concrete were left exposed on the interior of the building to recall the building’s history. Unit interiors and public spaces were conceived as contemporary intervention.
