The Park, Bankers Hill’s precision design extends
to every inch of the building and considers the
refinement and exclusivity luxury buyers in San Diego
are hungry for. “Every detail of the building has been
revisited time and again,” says Zephyr COO Chris Beucler. “What may be
overlooked by most, has been relentlessly considered by our team with
a discerning eye – that’s what it takes to have the best building in this
city. Even the marble on the exterior is wrapped seamlessly.” Passers-by
can appreciate a rich marble material, unique to Bankers Hill architecture,
adorning the entire exterior façade. What they might not realize is the
level of detail that went into both selecting the Volakis marble, carefully
imported from a remote hillside in Greece, to installing it. Using a technique
called ‘book-matching,’ each marble panel was precisely paired with the
next for an uninterrupted veining affect, achieving the appearance of one
continuous slab that covers all 14 stories.
Responsible for innovative, sustainable design around the world,
Canadian firm DIALOG was entrusted with The Park’s dynamic
architecture. By implementing design considerations that include
continuing the Volakis marble into residence interiors, flooding
each home with natural light with floor-to-ceiling glass walls, and
extending living spaces onto private terraces that average over
468 square feet, DIALOG, alongside the Zephyr team, was able
to create the most exclusive building in all of San Diego.
The sophistication and style extend beyond home interiors, into
the building’s impressive lobby and amenity areas. With Lorena
Gaxiola providing direction on the interiors, these common areas
continue the use of immaculate finishes and precision details.
The Park’s lobby is dressed on one side in a rich 3D Walnut
wood treatment that provides contrast to the light tones of the
marble and is positioned vertically to extend the height of the
room. Welcoming visitors from outside, full-height glass walls
