Los Angeles, CA
By effectively utilizing the original office modular layout, the project creates 322 spacious
studio and two-bedroom loft apartments. The units are arranged around two lightwells, and the
existing historic corridors and doors are preserved. The original uniquely designed aluminum
casement windows and sleek silver aluminum panels are distinguishing features of the
building’s bold International Corporate style facade. A rooftop pool and glassy gymnasium offer
tenants special gathering spaces with spectacular views.
The building was designed by the noted architectural firm Wurdeman and Becket, the most
prolific and professionally well-recognized practitioners of commercial architecture in the 1930s
and 1940s. Containing half a million square feet, it was until 1949 the largest office building in
Los Angeles.
