Ash Flooring & Veneer | Levi’s, San Francisco

Engineered ash flooring and reclaimed ash veneer bring natural warmth and scale to Levi’s light-filled corporate atrium in San Francisco.

Engineered Ash Flooring & Veneer for Levi’s Corporate Atrium in San Francisco

Urban Evolutions supplied engineered ash flooring and 6,550 SF of ash veneer for paneling and table surfaces in Levi’s San Francisco HQ atrium.

Gensler Architecture in San Francisco has been a champion of incorporating reclaimed wood in modern commercial environments.  We welcomed the opportunity to work with them on the new Levi’s Plaza headquarters in the Bay Area.  The atrium is a vibrant, modern space that feels rooted in Levi’s rustic material-driven vibe.   

The heritage and feel of the Levi’s brand were beautifully reflected in our ash flooring, paneling, and tabletops installed throughout the atrium and amenity areas.  These ash trees, affected by the Emerald Ash Borer, are being removed by municipalities across the country and typically mulched or burned. When we salvage urban trees and keep them in lumber form, we can sequester the carbon they have stored throughout their lifetimes for the life of the new project.
