福斯特事务所受地产开发和投资公司SHVO委托，对旧金山标志性建筑物泛美金字塔（Transamerica Pyramid）进行翻新。这是该建筑50年以来最大的改造，旨在给这座城市著名的地标之一，同时也是该城市第二高的建筑注入新的活力。该项目还将扩建和升级临近的Sansome街545号（Three Transamerica），使之成为一座现代化的办公大楼。

Foster + Partners has been appointed by SHVO, the luxury real estate development and investment firm, to revitalise the iconic Transamerica Pyramid Center in San Francisco. The biggest renovation in the building's 50-year history, this redevelopment seeks to give a new lease of life to one of the city's most recognizable landmarks and the second tallest building in the city. The project will also expand and upgrade the adjacent Three Transamerica (545 Sansome) to a contemporary high-design office building.

泛美金字塔由威廉·佩雷拉（William Pereira）设计，于1972年完工，是旧金山天际线的重要组成部分，也是这里金融实力的象征。地块范围内还包括两个附属建筑——Sansome街505号和545号，以及著名的中央红杉公园。

Located in one of the world's premier gateway cities, and a symbol of San Francisco's ambition, the Transamerica Pyramid Center encompasses an entire city block in the Financial District. The Transamerica Pyramid, designed by celebrated futurist architect William Pereira and completed in 1972, is emblematic of the skyline. The broader site consists of two additional buildings - Two Transamerica (505 Sansome Street) and Three Transamerica (545 Sansome Street), and the famed central Redwood Park.

改造方案将重塑红杉公园的景观，并通过一系列战略性干预措施，把场地中的三个建筑联系在一起，在旧金山的中心区域创建一个充满活力的新目的地。设计同时还将尊重和保护这个独特的建筑遗产。

The new Foster + Partners design seeks to revitalize and restore the historic Redwood Park, while tying all three buildings together through a series of strategic interventions at ground level, creating a vibrant new destination in the heart of San Francisco while respecting and celebrating the unique heritage of the site.

建筑师致力于打造能提升幸福感的高性能办公空间，营造一种活力的氛围，为租户和客人提供舒适、热情和灵活的服务。除了原有的私人会员俱乐部CORE以外，设计还提供了酒店级别的设施和服务。为进一步鼓励人们回到办公室，建筑师还精心设计了零售空间，并在塔楼的中间两层布置了注重身心健康的休息室和会议设施，在这里可以俯瞰城市全景。此外，顶层还设有私人酒吧和休息室等休闲设施。

SHVO and Foster + Partners are committed to conceiving high performance office spaces which enhance wellbeing. The office is reimagined as a living space, with a sophisticated emphasis placed on comfort, hospitality, and flexibility for tenants and guests. In addition to the on-site private members club CORE, hospitality grade amenities and service elevate the offering. Further incentivizing the return to the office, retail is carefully curated and two floors in the middle of the tower are dedicated to wellness, a lounge and conferencing facilities——all with panoramic city views. Additionally, the top floor below the spire culminates these amenities with an enchanting private bar and lounge.

红杉公园——在1974年由近50棵从圣克鲁斯谷移植到这里形成的成熟红杉树林，现已超过100英尺高——也进行了升级和激活。在Sansome街的巷道马克吐温街上，将会种植一列梅花树，一直延伸至金字塔底部的咖啡馆、商店和餐馆，为空间增添季节性的色彩。该项目预计将于2023年中期完工。

Redwood Park - which consists of nearly 50 mature redwood trees transplanted from the Santa Cruz Valley to the site in 1974 and now over 100 feet tall - will also be upgraded and additional landscape will activate the site perimeter. Adding seasonal color to the space, Mark Twain Street - the alleyway from Sansome Street - will be lined with plum blossom trees, leading up to the base of the pyramid featuring curated cafes, shops and restaurants. The project is slated to be completed by the middle of 2023.

SHVO董事长兼首席执行官Michael Shvo说到：“泛美金字塔是旧金山的代名词，代表着这座城市的乐观精神和前瞻性。我们与福斯特团队密切合作，在尊重建筑历史的前提下，利用现代干预措施，加强这座建筑作为城市天际线的重要地位。”

Michael Shvo, Chairman & CEO said: "The Pyramid is synonymous with San Francisco, representing the city's optimism and forward-thinking nature. We have worked closely with the Foster team to respect the Center's existing history and complement that with contemporary interventions that will only strengthen this magnificent building that stands as a beacon on this city's skyline."

诺曼·福斯特补充道：“修复这一独特的泛美金字塔及其历史悠久的红杉公园，在旧金山中心创造一个特别的场所，是一个非常难得的机会。现有建筑和新增部分通过丰富的景观联系在一起，可以给行人带来更多的公共空间。内部办公空间被改造成了充满活力的空间，以提升幸福感。我们都期待着这座标志性建筑能焕发新的活力。”

Lord Norman Foster, Founder and Executive Chairman of Foster + Partners, added: "This is an exceptional opportunity to restore the unique Transamerica Pyramid Tower and its historic Redwood Park, to create a very special destination in the heart of San Francisco. The existing buildings and new additions are tied together by generous landscaping which will breathe new public and community life at the sidewalk level. The previous office areas are reborn as new living spaces, with an emphasis on wellbeing. Working in collaboration with Michael Shvo and his team, we look forward to reinvigorating this truly iconic building."
