Remodeling in crowded urban areas is always difficult.  The logistics of access, trucks, equipment, and storage is tough.  When you're trying to install a new elevator shaft and  elevator in an existing building, it's even more of a challenge.

The construction of a concrete shaft was made a little easier with the use of shotcrete or pneumatically placed concrete.  Working with our structural consultant, Hom-Pisano, we were able to develop a structural system that worked within this tight space.

Here is the completed elevator located at 814 Montgomery in San Francisco.  The building is leased to the Italian Cultural Institute of San Francisco.
