Architectural Metal in San Francisco
San Francisco's architecture is scrutinized like nowhere else in the region — and its metalwork has to meet that standard while standing up to wind, fog and dense urban construction.
Architectural Metalwork for San Francisco
In San Francisco, design teams work under intense architectural scrutiny, and the construction conditions — wind, marine air, tight urban sites and demanding logistics — leave no room for metalwork that hasn’t been thought through. Architectural Systems brings the engineering-led detailing that San Francisco projects require, from feature façade and cladding systems to glass and cable railings, custom metalwork, sunshades and entry elements.
Our combined architectural and structural engineering background is built for exactly this environment: we resolve constructability, weather performance and attachment up front, so the installed work matches the rendering and survives the city’s climate. And because we self-perform fabrication and installation, the demanding access and sequencing of a downtown San Francisco site stays under one team’s control.
For Financial District, SoMa, Mission Bay and Transbay projects, we deliver architectural metal that holds up to both the design review and the bay.
