Fisherman's Wharf
San Francisco, California


In 1996, the Port of San Francisco solicited proposals for a lighting master plan from the firm for the Fisherman's Wharf area, recognizing the deterioration of the lighting environment. The first phase of construction implemented this master plan in the Inner and Outer Lagoons. The resulting design restored the historic feel of this working wharf/tourist attraction and established a composition of lighting elements. In addition, unwanted glare sources were reduced, the number of lamp types was reduced, and color rendering was greatly improved.
