Los Angeles, CA
The interior renovation of this film production facility required the transformation of two original bow-truss warehouse buildings built in the 1940s with limited open passage between them. We were charged to create a collaborative work environment with administrative and technical wings that include offices, workshops, editing rooms, an equipment cage and long sight lines for camera staging. Our solution maintained an open center with a circular conference room as the vortex of the environment. This common room, straddling the central dividing wall, propels into motion a series of ripples whose trajectories penetrate the wall and diminish the separation between the sides while establishing auxiliary spaces for informal gathering.
