ALFATECH PROJECT EXPERIENCE

Lucas Museum of Narrative Arts

Los Angeles, CA

TYPE: SIZE:

New Construction 360,000 SF

The Lucas Museum was conceived with the bold ambition to challenge the way our societies appreciate art museums. Inspired by its resolute mission, the engineering design blasted off with the vision to deliver a lasting, centenarian building in harmony with its site. The carbon zero design harnessed heat and cooling from the soil beneath the museum with over 700 vertical bores. This constituted the deep earth, pulsating aorta of the geothermal field. A second element of nature was introduced by way of a thermally active water pond, which increased the site’s innate cooling capacity. These features were modulated by the high-efficiency, heat recovery central plant that provided all-electric, simultaneous heating and cooling (and no gas-fired boilers). Environmental quality for prime spaces – galleries, state of the art theaters, and lobbies – were controlled with underfloor air-distribution and radiant floors. Smart controls gently nudged temperature and ventilation parameters to adjust to visitors’ comfort. The superstructure lifted off with an exterior façade that self-shaded the thermal shell, effectively reducing cooling demand. Curved onyx glass organically traced the rooftop which formed the solar PV field. At 365 kW capacity, the renewable energy source reduced an estimated 10-15% of the electricity demand and swung the carbon footprint negative. Ahead of its time, the Lucas Museum will open the doors as an eco-friendly, ‘net zero energy’-ready museum that gives back to the surrounding community.

On the ground floor, additional features including a lobby, men's and women's restrooms, a back-of-house corridor with a break area, private office, and private restroom. A strategically placed new elevator and staircase enhance accessibility and connectivity. Ascending to the second level, a thoughtfully crafted space housing a tutorial room, classroom, electrical and IT room, and storage area. This level also boasts an outdoor entertaining deck, providing panoramic views of the existing gardens. For seamless access, an outdoor staircase leads to the lower-level gardens.

Japanese American Cultural & Community Center, Toshizo Watanabe Culinary Cultural Center

Los Angeles, CA TYPE: SIZE:

Tenant Improvement & Change of Use 9,700 SF

Celebrity chef Andy Nakano was selected to oversee the build-out of a new restaurant and culinary center in this historic,1960's era building, the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center.

One of the most significant challenges was the upgrade of life-safety systems within the building. Built in 1927, this landmark theatre is an opulent, awe-inspiring presence that has been a cornerstone of Hollywood’s history for over 75 years. As a reminder of the Golden Age of Hollywood and location of preference for prestigious premieres, it remains a world-famous attraction that draws thousands of visitors each year.

SIZE:

The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in the heart of Beverly Hills is a new cultural facility that preserves and adapts the landmark 1933 Post Office to include an adjacent new 500-seat state-of-the art theater. Three classrooms, a 150-seat flexible studio space, a donor lounge, production support services and administrative offices have been created within the historic building itself. The electrical infrastructure and all mechanical systems of the 38,000 SF original Post Office required complete reworking and inherent challenges with a historic building renovation and preservation arose as the lobby and façade could not be altered whatsoever. Adjoining the landmark building, the new 500-seat, state-of-the-art Goldsmith Theater is the genesis of previous unsuccessful attempts to house the theatre within the historic structure. We carefully coordinated design and implementation of the Goldsmith Theatre’s MEP systems with the acoustician and lighting designer while staying open to the Annenberg Trust’s evolving needs, a complex and involved process.
