Asian Art Museum | San Francisco, CA

In 1996, the world renowned museum chose architect Gae Aulenti-widely recognized as a designer who specializes in the adaptive conversion of historic structures into museum spaces-as the design architect of its new facility. The joint venture of Hellmuth, Obata + Kassabaum (HOK), LDA Architects and Robert Wong Architect acted as the project architect, working with Gae Aulenti to incorporate her design concepts into the complete design package. The Asian Art Museum reopened at its current Civic Center location in March 2003. Mechanical Design Studio provided full plumbing and fire protection design services.
