Size: 700,000 sf
Client: The Moscone Center

Kwan Henmi was responsible for the all of the interiors at The Moscone West Convention Center, designed in joint venture with Gensler Associates and Michael Willis & Associates.  This new 700,000 SF facility houses three stories of flexible spaces for exhibition, meeting and ballroom functions.  It also includes a full basement for service and loading.  Located on the corner of 4th and Howard, this facility provides a visible link to Moscone North and South, while creating a strong connection for convention attendees approaching from the hotels north of Market Street.  Designed to function as a stand-alone facility, the building form is strong and transparent, serving to enliven the facility at the street level.
