Located in the heart of downtown Culver City adjacent to multiple historic and iconic structures, the Culver Steps represents the merging of public and private spaces, created to work in harmony, bringing the community together. The program includes retail, a four-story office building, and a Grand Stair that leads pedestrians up to restaurants and a landscaped Elevated Plaza perched above the existing Town Square. The project weaves into the urban fabric by sensitively scaling the building elements and relating to the surrounding brick material palette. Shops are strategically located to energize the existing sidewalks and streets, enhancing an already pedestrian zone with more vibrance, a rarity in LA.
