Luxury Living SAN DIEGO’S SKYLINE IS TRANSFORMED The Park, Bankers Hill, Zephyr’s Luxury Midrise is Complete W ith over 60 percent of the residences already sold, 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.
