222 W 2ND ST
TYPE: MIXED USE
LOCATION: DTLA, CA
SIZE: 700,000 SF
ROLE: INTERMEDIATE DESIGNER
THIS CREATIVE OFFICE BUILDING, LOCATED IN DTLA, WAS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE EXPANSIVE OPEN SPACES. HOWEVER, THE METRO STATION AT THE BASE PROVED TO BE A STRUCTURAL CHALLENGE SO THE TOWER ITSELF SHIFTED TO ONE SIDE OF THE SITE. BY CLADDING A PART OF THE MASS IN BRONZE METAL, THE BUILDING HAS AN ICONIC PRESENCE WITHIN DTLA.
