401 CREATIVE OFFICES
TYPE: CREATIVE OFFICE
LOCATION: ARTS DISTRICT, DTLA, CA
SIZE: 345,000 SF
ROLE: INTERMEDIATE DESIGNER
LOCATED WITHIN THE ARTS DISTRICT IN DTLA, THE DESIGN IS INSPIRED BY THE INDUSTRIAL TEXTURES FOUND IN THE EXISTING SITE. THE BASE IS HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY THE SURROUNDING CONTEXT, AND THE UPPER OFFICE FLOORS ARE CAPPED BY DISTINCT OPEN SPACES.
THE GROUND FLOOR IS SPLIT BY AN OPEN AIR PASSAGE THAT CONNECTS TO THE NEIGHBORING MUSEUM. THE TERRACES ARE LOCATED TOWARDS THE MORE PROMINENT VIEWS OF DOWNTOWN AND ARE FURTHER EMPHASIZED WITH A CONCRETE FRAME TO REMAIN TRUE TO THE INDUSTRIAL AESTHETIC.
THERE IS A COMMUNAL EVENT SPACE ON THE ROOF WHICH IS HIGHLIGHTED BY THE MORE ICONIC FEATURE, WHICH HOUSES A MONUMENTAL STAIR.
