The year’s shaping up to be an active, interesting one at BUILD. We have multiple projects under construction, been getting a healthy dose jet-setting to job sites out of state, and are gearing up for new work starting to brew in the background. We’re approaching our busiest summer yet. Here’s a quick run-down of what’s been going on:

DESIGNing
The Beacon Hill Remodel is our newest project on the boards, designed to maintain the existing footprint while opening up spaces within and adding an upper floor.  With design complete, this one’s steadily approaching its permit date.

It’s been a good chunk of time since we revamped our world headquarters. With some new SPD cabinetry for our office kitchen, we’re ready to roll out some improvements to the space: workspace for an intern, wall-mounted storage and display, and the future BUILD Lab.

We’re getting our feet wet navigating the ocean of outdoor furnishings out there for creativeLIVE San Francisco. There’s a lot of wicker out there, and we’ve done our best to find the modern alternatives.

PARTYing
The Beaux-Arts Residence wrapped early last month with a rainy, but well-attended open house party. Thanks to all who helped make this project a success and joined in on the celebration.

Society Consulting is fresh off of their first big party in the new space. The open house last night drew a good crowd; we were excited to see and experience the space activated. Browse through more party pics over on our Facebook page.
