Type: Office Size: 145,000 SF

As one of the motion picture and television industry’s leading producers and suppliers of cameras and lenses, Panavision Inc. required new headquarters that contained collaborative office space, research and development labs, manufacturing and testing facilities, shipping and receiving facilities, a full movie theater, full service cafeteria, coffee bars and cafe, as well as a retail store. In 2011 Panavision leased a 145,000 square foot vacated warehouse in Woodland Hills, CA.

HULU

Santa Monica, CA

Type: Office Size: 98,000 SF

When the popular Internet company Hulu assembled a team to help them determine their headquarters for the future, we evaluated multiple locations to assist in the decision making process. Hulu had identified offices in Santa Monica’s Colorado Center for their recent re-location to a nearly 98,000 SF office space – a space formerly occupied by the architecture firm Gensler before it moved to Downtown Los Angeles. Gensler was the architect tapped to re-imagine their former space for Hulu’s needs. The airy design features open exposed ceilings and includes a fully stocked panty and cafe, as well as huddle and decompression spaces designed for easy employee collaboration. The design accommodates a large opening cut through the slab for the assembly space with re-location of mechanical infrastructure, all done in concert with the acoustic consultant as the open design makes keeping the MEP systems quiet of paramount importance. The result is a beautiful space, created with a highly collaborative and hands-on group of people as clients who provided a positive spirit and atmosphere.

DISNEY TV GROUP

Burbank, CA

Type: Office Size: 21,000SF

Disney TV Group revamped the 11th floor of 3800 W. Alameda. The project was forensic in execution from a mechanical perspective, as there were no as-built drawings available. We surveyed all existing VAV boxes and WSHP's, created existing as-built plans and reused 50% of the existing VAV boxes and WSHP's in different areas of the floor to work with the completely new space plan design in order to aid with keeping the project on budget. The space comprised of edit bays, finishing rooms, master control rooms, VO Booths, QC rooms, private offices, open plan office space, conference rooms, server room and collaboration areas. Interesting challenges arose such as the study of all condenser water usage within the building to figure out creative solutions to provide sufficient capacity to support the 11th floor programmatic needs.

DREAMWORKS

Glendale, CA

Type: Office Size: 125,000 SF

When the rapidly growing DreamWorks Animation campus in downtown Glendale, CA needed more space as well as a restack of their existing animation building, we provided an integrated, two phase approach. Phase 1 consisted of the 4 floor, 120,000 SF TV animation building restack and Phase 2, the construction of a 125,000 SF annex. The new 5 floor plus 2 basement level annex building includes offices, approval and digital dailies rooms, a state-of-the-art motion capture theatre, recording studio and editorial suites as well as a remodeled adjacent campus cafeteria. The seamless joining of the annex to the existing campus centralized systems – the chiller plant, water and electrical works – was successfully met while the two buildings smoothly transitioned into an interconnected and fluid work flow. The creative needs and a typical lighting and power usage of the DreamWorks team remained unimpeded as we implemented the electrical, AC, sound and lighting systems, and delivered the $50 million dollar 2-year project on budget amidst evolving Glendale city codes.

SONY PICTURES – JIMMY STEWART BUILDING

Culver City, CA

Type: Office and Studio Size: 212,000SF

With Sony's ever evolving need for space on the lot, the only option was up. So Sony embarked upon building an 8-Story high rise building on the lot.

This project involved the MEP design of a ground-up core and shell with extreme site constraints. As the core and shell design was almost finished we took on the challenge of designing 8 floors of technical space T.I. to provide a new home for the folks at Sony Music Group. The project comprised of a full cooking employee cafeteria, coffee shops, tour offices, humidification controlled museums, conference center, multiple interconnecting floors, open office spaces and private offices. We were instrumental in navigating the smoke control system through Culver City AHJ review process. The design utilizes a UUKL 864 listed mechanical controls system which doubles as a smoke controls system in-lieu of traditional methods of two completely separate systems. This approach save on both construction time and cost as the same wiring raceways could be dual purposed. This is one of the few installations of this type within the LA area.

KCET sold its historic Sunset Boulevard studio to the Church of Scientology, and leased 2 floors, roughly 55,000 sq. ft. at the The Point, a brand new 14 story LEED Gold certified building in downtown Burbank. As part of the team we embarked immediately on the study, design, construction and installation process of their MEP systems, a Herculean undertaking for the tight 12-month timeframe which saw the bare space transformed into state-of-the art production studios and offices. Through intense analysis of the existing building and expertise in entertainment industry systems design, issued the long lead package within the first two months.

ACTIVISION Woodland Hills, CA

Type: Office and Studio Size: 85,000 SF

Activision Infinity Ward, the creators of Call of Duty, produces video games out of their Woodland Hills, CA location.

A new production space with heavy power demands and highly technical specifications required a comprehensive MEP design that we were able to provide, drawing on their deep and sustained experience in creative spaces. Each equipment workstation needed significant power, twice the demands of the normal workstation. A significant challenge of this project was the need for a fast-track execution of a very technical design. With the support of a great team we were able to successfully create and implement one of the most difficult and technically demanding assignments with the highest quality and in record time.
