Hyatt Regency San Francisco Completes Redesign

-

The Hyatt Regency San Francisco has unveiled its newly redesigned spaces following a multimillion-dollar renovation from Dallas-based firm Looney Associates.

An enhanced entryway welcomes guests with new signage, architectural sconces, tall green hedges, and laser-cut metal screens. The Bay level is home to several meeting spaces with new custom carpeting, rich walnut entry doors, and modern furniture. The revitalized third-floor lobby radiates energy with wall-to-ceiling canopies wrapped in handcrafted wallcovering and inset lighting. Warm walnut desks greet visitors at check-in, and the existing gray concrete foundation is enlivened with neutral tones, supple fabrics, and contemporary patterns. New wood alcoves establish private workspaces while intimate seating enclaves have been carved into the existing concrete planter and include walnut floors, metal cable canopies, and custom lighting.  

A dramatic new light sculpture has replaced the former lobby water feature. Spanning more than 130 feet, the piece is aglow with 400 custom lights inspired by mining lanterns. A collection of 132 vintage hotel bells is framed in polished granite behind the bell desk while the concierge desk makes an impact with a freestanding, double-sided wall that showcases 5,000 recycled beer bottles designed to resemble the Bay Area as viewed from space.  

The lobby’s Eclipse Kitchen & Bar has also been redesigned with freestanding wooden walls that divide the expansive environment into both intimate and communal arrangements. Open, blackened steel shelving displays modern literature and vintage memorabilia, while round and wood-plank barrel booths evoke Northern California wine country. Clad in dark marble, rich wood, and recycled metal, the large bar makes a statement with a metal cable and light sculpture inspired by the moon over the iconic Bay Bridge.


Four of the hotel’s 45 suites have been revamped into themed rooms inspired by well-known San Franciscans in tech, music, photography, and acting. Each suite is tailored with distinctly localized finishes, furnishings, and artwork.

Color and Autism

Throughout my career I ’ ve helped countless frustrated parents of autistic children to make empowering color choices for their kids ’ environments. My experiences of getting to know these families inspired me to research the effect of color on people with ASD and to offer solutions for creating colorfully harmonious environments. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 88 children has been identified with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). As more and more children are diagnosed, it ’ s imperative that parents and design professionals be aware of the specific requirements for this growing population. Special consideration needs to be given when selecting colors, finishes, lighting and storage. Does your child avoid a certain room in the house or an area of his classroom? The culprit may simpler than you think. Your child may be avoiding these areas because they ’ re too colorfully decorated. ASD children and adults tend to have heightened sen

1.    What was your initial vision for Enduratex? Has Enduratex become what you envisioned it would, or has the vision changed with time? Jeff: My original vision for Enduratex was to build it as a ‘household name’ in the markets we served. We were known as CGPC back then and I made it a point to make sure that we got the brand Enduratex out there and that over time, we became known as Enduratex. People began to call us Enduratex and I recognized the need to promote that name. I think we have accomplished a tremendous job in re-branding ourselves and making the brand name of ENDURATEX one that is known and respected. 2.    What qualities define a ‘dream team’? What constitutes a strong team and how have you tried to develop your team into a ‘dream team’? Jeff: The qualities of a dream team: persistence, tenacity, a winner takes all attitude and a servants heart- somebody who is willing to do all the work without taking any of the glory. I think I’ve tried
