About

Situated along Avenue of the Stars in Century City, one of the main thoroughfares in Los Angeles, this mixed-use workplace project celebrates its setting with a vibrant collection of Mediterranean planting materials in generous organic sweeps between two high-rise towers. The neighborhood invites outdoor uses and comfortable strolling, with generous shade trees and fragrant planting. The landmark property is undergoing a transformation that will establish a best-in-class office environment with an emphasis on community and professional green space.
The towers are reclad and reimagined, along with a visionary transformation of the existing landscape into a vibrant, environmentally focused workspace. Spread across five acres, the lush greenspace integrates with the surrounding city with a network of meandering pathways that emphasizes connectivity. Diverse outdoor areas for work and socialization are carefully inserted into the landscape to offer privacy and respite. Terraces, AV-enabled outdoor workstations, and meeting pods allow occupants to move seamlessly between indoor and outdoor environments. This emphasis on flexible, technology-enhanced outdoor spaces highlights the temperate California climate and reflects a new attitude toward work-life balance.

A series of outdoor rooms offer places for connection, while also affording privacy and respite.
