We are excited and honored to announce that 1908 Shattuck is one of seven projects to receive the 12th Biennial BDA Design Award! 

In the spirit of this award, please enjoy this animation (courtesy of Tipping Structural Engineers) of the engineering behind this structure and the base isolators in action:

1908 Shattuck in San Francisco Chronicle

Pick up your issue of the San Francisco Chronicle this morning and you'll either be joyful or unhappy with the results of this year's presidential election. Flip a couple pages over to this article by John King, however, and you'll read something that is undisputed: 1908 Shattuck is turning heads.

1908 Shattuck - Triple Rock Brewery

There was a full house in the "Richter Room" at Triple Rock Brewery (at street level of 1908 Shattuck) this past weekend! People seemed to really be enjoying the space, and many were in awe of the base isolators. 

Good food, drinks, and a one-of-a-kind structural system - what more could you possibly want? Come down to 1908 Shattuck and enjoy these for yourself.

Have you ever wondered what 1908 Shattuck would look like during a major earthquake? Thanks to this new animation from Tipping Structural Engineers, you can get a sense of how the base isolation system would look in action.

Behind the Scenes: 1908 Shattuck Photoshoot

Fernau & Hartman spent two days on site at 1908 Shattuck with photographer Richard Barnes, and we captured him at work. See photos from this weekend's photoshoot below:

CuriOdyssey: Design Update

As  CuriOdyssey approaches the half way point of the Design Development stage, we are able to share with you a selection of renderings from the project. The renderings below show an interactive viewing platform where visitors can observe wildlife--coined the "bird blind", aerial perspectives and what the entry to the museum will be like.

You can see how these renderings have developed since the Conceptual Design stage and also have a look at the competition winning renderings.

CuriOdyssey: Conceptual Design Updates

Fernau & Hartman's competition-winning design for CuriOdyssey gets a facelift moving forward in conceptual design. Renderings below show the introduction of an interactive viewing platform where visitors can observe wildlife--coined the "bird blind".

See previous posts on F&H's design and winning competition entry for CuriOdyssey at Coyote Point of San Mateo, CA (formerly Coyote Point Museum).

CuriOdyssey - Conceptual Design

The following image was developed as part of the conceptual design F&H completed last year for CuriOdyssey (formerly Coyote Point Museum) in San Mateo, CA. As CuriOdyssey, the museum continues its mission to inspire people to take care of the Earth wisely, while encouraging children to engage directly with the natural world.

Coyote Point Museum

The following renderings were included in Fernau & Hartman’s winning competition entry for the renovation of Coyote Point Museum in San Mateo, California. F&H is currently working with the museum to revise and refine the concept design.
