The Monolith

The project is the the new headquarters of software game company Riot Games and suggest the location to be in Little Tokyo. The building is formed from pinching two sides of the volume, creating plaza space across from the museum, and beginnning to activate the dormant side of the street. The building is then compressed to the continue outdoor seating area from the adjacent  restaurants and attempt to the connect to the Geffen down Central Avenue.
