Harbor House - Omgivning

Project Role: Job Captain

Shahrzad Razi served as the Job Captain on this adaptive reuse project, overseeing it from concept through permitting. Originally built in 1925–26 as the Army & Navy YMCA in a Mediterranean Revival style by Jay, Rogers & Stevenson, the five-story structure once housed a gym, swimming pool, 410-bed dormitory, handball courts, lounges and more. Over time, the building transitioned to civilian use, later operating as Harbor View House, a residential facility serving vulnerable populations. Under its rebirth, the design balances history and modernity: the soft pink tones, bold black and grey accents, and interplay of textures beautifully echo the building’s original elegance while asserting a refined, contemporary voice. The blush of the restored stone surfaces contrasts with darker architectural elements, giving the space a fresh yet respectful transformation.
