165 10th St. is a San
Francisco City Landmark. Built in 1890 as the James Lick Free Baths, it housed a men’s bath
with forty bathtubs and a women’s bath with twenty tubs.Between the bathing spaces a boiler in a
sunken room heated the water and a tower supported hot and cold water tanks
that fed the tubs by gravity. After extensive damage in the 1906 earthquake and
fire the building was repaired and continued as a bath until 1919.The two main
spaces were divided and circulation in the building became convoluted.The renovation cleared the clutter of
partitions and mezzanines and restored the original logic of the building.
We reopened boarded up ventilation louvers in the skylight curbs and introduced
a new fresh air supply. Structural
improvements strengthened the original light steel trusses and created a new
horizontal diaphragm, allowing the generous skylight openings to remain.The improvements reinforce the
basic sustainability of a daylit space that uses stack ventilation to move
fresh air through the space. Th
mezzanine stands apart from the adjacent wall, and new slotted FSC plywood ceiling
panels float between the original roof trusses, revealing the original decking.
The slotted plywood is also used in railings and wall panels throughout the
space. A living wall in the
main studio space and sidewalk greening enhanced the space.
