has recently completed an
adaptive reuse of a 1940s bowstring truss and brick warehouse in what was Santa
Monica’s Industrial corridor, now a hotbed of entertainment and hi tech. The
17,000 square foot building was artistically designed for a well-known, International animation studio that has recently achieved
significant commercial success. Urban Studio designed an interior renovation
that is warm, forthright and efficient, while also elegant and inspiring.
As is a consistent throughout all of Urban
Studio's designs, sustainability and conservation were of paramount concern
throughout the tenant improvement process. The design maintains the structure
of 1940s bowstring truss and brick warehouse along with stripped down and polished
concrete floors. The centerpiece is the ‘Cube’ which houses a screening room,
two editing rooms and a central IT/Server room for the entire office. Designed
with a small black band that secures the foundation of the room, the office
appears to float within the space. The sides facing the kitchen and hallway
have built in platform seating used as spill over spaces for employee lounging.
Using natural lighting paired with efficient lighting design, the space
incorporates natural woods and sharp, contrasting colors to create a vibrant
and natural aesthetic. The design also includes an outdoor patio space that
playfully blends both the indoor and outdoor spaces. Oversized sliding doors
connect the interior to the outdoor garden area, bringing in the Mediterranean
light and fresh sea air. The landscape design, by Linda Jassim of Studio J,
capitalizes on found space on the side of the building, for use by employees for dining and breaks. An
outside bar with seating hangs off the large open window facing the kitchen. At night and on cool winter days, heat lamps
and lighting warm the space.
Urban Studio’s design successfully offers
maximum flexibility of space, as the use of the studio varies widely, including
viewing and editing spaces, general offices, and production facilities. The
plan is open with privacy between offices and creates a visual connection to
the overall space. On the mezzanine
level architectural steel stairs connect to an overhead bridge and the
conference room, which overlooks the ‘Cube’. The use of consistent and clean
materials, the design shines as a representative example of Urban Studio's keen
eye for clean and sharp design.
Operating on a tight budget and timeline, the
completion of this project involved significant negotiation with the city and
utility companies to ensure a smooth transition from the studios previous
location.
