California firms BraytonHughes Design Studios and EDG Design are slated to complete the redesign of the InterContinental San Francisco this fall.
Enhanced with a cosmopolitan aesthetic, the 556-room property will showcase a holistic upgrade accented with artful touches. Each floor of the meeting and event spaces is lined with art and custom transit maps from a significant year in San Francisco history, including the 1915 Panama-Pacific World’s Fair and the 1967 Summer of Love. Residential-style accommodations will mirror luxury San Francisco apartments with a crisper color palette and furnishings, upholstery, and textiles that demonstrate a new tailored style. Gray carpeting is detailed with pinstripes, while suit-like buttons punctuate bed skirts outlined with striping of International Orange—the official color of the Golden Gate Bridge.
“We’re privileged to work on projects around the world, but we’re particularly honored to be part of this project in our home town of San Francisco,” says Kiko Singh, principal of BraytonHughes Design Studios. “We take pride in creating spaces that convey a unique sense of place. For the InterContinental San Francisco, the goal of BraytonHughes and EDG was to create a distinctive design that imbues every corner of the hotel with a touch of San Francisco.”
“It’s an exciting time to design in the Bay Area,” adds EDG president and CEO Jennifer Johanson. “The convergence of culture, tech, and capital has made San Francisco a global beacon of innovation. The spaces that catalyze and support this cutting-edge thinking must follow suit.”
