The design of Perkins+Will’s Los Angeles Office created a unique opportunity to enhance the physical characteristics of this beautiful space. The MEP system was carefully coordinated so as not to take away from the charming red brick and rugged concrete aesthetic contrasts of the space. While workstations have typically been located along the perimeter, the new plan inverts that diagram and lines the exterior glass with collaborative teaming spaces offering an abundance of natural daylight to both private and open meeting areas. Its plan form mimics the path of the teaming areas and is in immediate proximity to it. Staff is encouraged to work beyond their desks and utilize all areas of the office to work alone and meet with colleagues and clients. Workstations are designed to flex upwards and accommodate and additional 17 staff when needed an in-turn the HVAC and electrical systems were future proofed for this scenario. The project achieved LEED Gold certification.
