Project Overview

Situated in the heart of San Francisco, CA, 50 Jones Street is a distinguished residential project that exemplifies modern urban living. Designed by Solomon Cordwell Buenz and built by Swinerton Builders, this project features 37,500 square feet of pre-glazed Architectural Precast panels, consisting of 195 meticulously crafted panels. The use of alternating faceted pre-glazed Architectural Precast wall panels with two different mix designs adds a unique and dynamic aesthetic to the building’s facade.

The decision to use Architectural Precast panels was driven by the desire to create a building that seamlessly integrates with San Francisco’s eclectic architectural landscape. The precast panels provide a durable, aesthetically pleasing exterior that enhances the building’s visual appeal while ensuring long-term performance and minimal maintenance.

Innovative Design with Architectural Precast Panels

The 50 Jones Street project showcases the versatility and beauty of Architectural Precast concrete. The use of pre-glazed panels allowed for a refined, high-quality finish that complements the building’s contemporary design. The pre-glazing process, carried out in Willis Construction’s production plant, ensured that each panel met the highest standards of craftsmanship and consistency.

The architectural design by Solomon Cordwell Buenz incorporates alternating faceted panels with two different mix designs, creating a dynamic and visually engaging facade. This innovative approach adds depth and texture to the building, enhancing its urban aesthetic and making it a standout in the city’s skyline. The panels were designed to integrate seamlessly with the building’s overall aesthetic, providing a cohesive and elegant appearance that enhances the urban environment of Jones Street.

The integration of pre-glazed Architectural Precast panels provided several benefits, including reduced on-site labor and faster installation times. The panels’ durability and high insulative value contribute to the building’s energy efficiency, reducing operational costs and enhancing sustainability. The use of local materials further minimized the project’s environmental impact, aligning with contemporary green building practices.

The successful completion of the 50 Jones Street project involved close collaboration between Solomon Cordwell Buenz, Swinerton Builders, and Willis Construction. Detailed planning and precise execution ensured that the panels were not only aesthetically pleasing but also structurally sound and efficient. The result is a building that stands as a testament to the potential of Architectural Precast concrete in high-end residential construction.

50 Jones Street is a prime example of how Architectural Precast panels can be used to create luxurious, efficient, and sustainable urban living spaces. Willis Construction’s expertise in precast solutions enabled the successful realization of a design that meets both aesthetic and functional requirements.
