Kerns Jewelry and Offices

This 14,000 square foot retail building is on a prominent street in downtown Burlingame, was a 1940's built SRO hotel. The building had fallen into disrepair and was damaged by fire. We gutted the building and seismically retrofit the shell structure. We designed a very high end 7,000 s.f. jewelry store on the ground floor, with showroom space, offices, jeweler's work areas, private showing rooms and staff support areas. This contemporary design features a cut stone arched entry vestibule, unique security lobby, high floating dropped ceilings with special lighting, floor to ceiling glass panels, and custom display cases. The project includes an elevator and toilet core for tenant offices on the second floor.
