Sapphire Tower

Vision


Everything about this boutique condo tower aims to provide discerning residents with an unmatched level of luxury and exclusivity. From its coveted waterfront location and floor to ceiling windows that provide spectacular views of San Diego Bay, to the privacy and tranquility provided by the unique architectural design that allows for only a few residences per floor, the 33-story tower was built to impress.

Carrier Johnson + Culture was hired to re-kindle the spark – for this property through a significant building repositioning to include exterior facade interventions to the building entry, parking entry and exterior stairwell, the redesign of common areas such as the main lobby, elevator lobbies, unit corridors and exterior breezeway and the redesign of amenity spaces including the clubhouse, fitness center, and pool deck amenity space

For this repositioning, we instilled high-end design through curated custom art pieces, elegant light fixtures, luxurious finishes and distinguished details. An interplay of natural materials of wood, stone, and porcelain are complemented by sleek stainless steel hardware and accents. Recessed lighting is augmented by decorative center piece pendants. amplify the new sophisticated, chic atmosphere. Custom artwork surrounds sculptural furniture, which adds color and soft texture to each space. Corridors and amenities spaces almost feel more like a museum than a residential high-rise.

On the roof deck, a series of cabana shade structures with lasercut steel design were added along the poolside and feature sophisticated lounge furnishings, creating the ideal setting to enjoy skyline views. Ground level enhancements to the breezeway including grading and drainage improvements, and public-facing art work that can be seen from Amtrak and San Diego trolley traffic.
