HISTORIC BETHLEHEM STEEL BUILDING (Photo: Business Wire)
Commanding five floors, this unrivaled experience seamlessly
integrates luxury home furnishings collections from RH
Contemporary, Interiors, Modern and Outdoor with rare art, antiques
and artifacts from around the world. Constructed in 1917 and
designed in the Classical Revival style by preeminent San Francisco
architect Frederick H. Meyer, the landmark building has been
meticulously restored and reimagined with great respect for its
original vision. RH Chairman & Chief Executive Officer Gary
Friedman has revitalized several other iconic buildings across
the country, including the former Museum of Natural History in
Boston’s Back Bay, the Post Office in Greenwich, Connecticut, and
the Historic Three Arts Club in Chicago’s Gold Coast.
“We are both humbled and honored to play a part in the
reestablishment of San Francisco’s historic shipyards, and to
reimagine the iconic Bethlehem Steel Building into a place open to
the public for the very first time,” said Mr. Friedman. “This was a
rare opportunity to do what we love, in a city that we love and
call our home.”
The monumental structure sits proudly on the corner of Illinois
and 20th Streets, with elegant neoclassical architecture that has
been artistically refinished by the famed Bay Area artist and color
authority James Goodman. Entering through bespoke hand-forged iron
gates graced with intricate scrollwork and gilded acanthus leaves,
guests pass through an intimate vestibule with trickling wall
fountains and antique urns that opens into a rare octagonal lobby
with original rose marble floors, cast-stone walls and a
meticulously restored plastered ornamental ceiling by Manuel
Palos.
Architecturally integrated to form a new center core of the
building, guests will discover The Palm Court Restaurant, a
live-fire dining experience featuring a monolithic marble cooking
hearth flanked by custom Molteni rotisseries from France.
Sitting beneath a dramatic atrium, this year-round skylit escape
recalls the glamour of San Francisco’s Gilded Age – a stunning
statement space featuring structural steelwork inspired by the
former shipyard, towering Medjool date palms and a cascading center
fountain sculpted of Calacatta gold marble.
Situated off each entrance to The Palm Court Restaurant, two
luminous Wine Bars serve exceptional champagnes and wines
from around the world for visitors to enjoy in adjacent lounge
seating or while exploring the Gallery – including 40 wines by the
glass and limited production offerings from Napa Valley’s renowned
small vintners.
Extending down each wing of the Gallery from the lobby, two
corridors with walls of soaring white Colorado marble bisect a
classical arrangement of rooms. Here, visitors will discover a full
floor dedicated to an exclusive preview of RH Contemporary
in advance of its spring 2022 debut. Reflecting the brand’s
evolving aesthetic with a minimalist design language that defines
the moment, the unprecedented collection occupies the space between
RH Interiors and RH Modern, highlighting the work of celebrated
designers worldwide.
With a striking elliptical passageway off the lobby, the
original stair rotunda provides access to level two. Upon arrival,
guests will discover RH Interiors – an homage to refined
design across the ages. Seamlessly extending from the original, a
new grand spiraling staircase connects levels three and four.
Natural light flows from a circular skylight two floors above while
a spectacular, thirteen-tier Serenella chandelier suspended from
its center point further illuminates the way.
Once the studio of naval architects and master draftsmen who
designed some of the nation’s most legendary ships, level three now
hosts a 10,000-square-foot open exhibition space set against walls
of matte limestone plaster showcasing RH Modern – the
largest fully integrated assortment of modern furniture, lighting,
textiles and décor under one brand in the world.
At the top of the grand stair, visitors will arrive at the
Rooftop Park. The immersive garden space is first
experienced within a vestibule marked by retractable glass walls
that open onto a beautifully landscaped park framing panoramic
views of San Francisco Bay and the downtown skyline. Influenced by
the great parterre gardens of the French Renaissance, the
destination encompasses a series of intimate RH Outdoor
lounge spaces defined by a layered composition of trellised London
plane trees, sculptural evergreens and the sound of trickling
fountains.
Occupying the entire lower level is an RH Interior Design
Firm & Atelier – at 10,000 square feet, the brand’s largest
to date. Providing an unparalleled level of professional design
services, this interactive studio includes private client
presentation rooms with state-of-the-art technology, an RH
Rugs showroom presenting an exclusive collection distinguished
by its superlative artistry and exquisite materials, design
libraries dedicated to a vast assortment of textiles and furniture
and lighting finishes, and an elegant jewel-box gallery showcasing
bath and cabinet hardware designs.
RH San Francisco is located at 590 20th Street and offers valet
parking. The Gallery can be reached at 415.865.0407. Hours of
operation are 10am to 9pm daily.
