"But perhaps the most unexpected characteristic of the house cannot be seen in a single brief visit or in a photograph ... sunlight through the irregularly placed windows seems to rotate gyroscopically on the curved walls."

3535 Hayden

"The essential state of incompletion marks the Pittard Sullivan building… it acts as a self-conscious metaphor of a lack of definition that pervades our culture... this lacuna... is a space that opens up the possibility of wonder (or fear) of what cannot and should not be known."

-A. Betsky, Architektur Aktuell

Umbrella and Pterodactyl

"It is the crystal made by crunching together all the construction already on the site. Out of it a whole new universe of forms can grow."

Pterodactyl
Culver City, CA

"I think what’s appealing for me is the evolution of the workplace—it has to do with technology, the size of spaces that people need, and the fact that they move around. In Pterodactyl, the ground floor is pretty much an open plan. The second is broken down into nine “boxes” that are more privatized and have their own personalities. There’s another piece, which is harder to read in the drawings but very readily understood when you’re in the building itself, which is a bridge that allows you to walk the length of the building.

I think a building like that lends itself to a different sociology―it works...it’s very appealing to go in there and to see it. I think the configuration of the building facilitates the energy and enthusiasm of the people who inhabit it."

8522 National
Culver City, CA

"... a different relationship with history can be built up, gleaning awareness from past experiences while moving towards a concrete growth in the present. Everything consists of a conceptually unitarian complex, where old and new, despite being clearly recognizable, become integral parts of a new order superimposed over an earlier one… The common denominator for everything is Los Angeles, with its complex urban and social framework, and each project illustrates the contrast between continuity and discontinuity, symmetry and asymmetry, and order and disorder which seem to reflect the very characteristics of this particular context."

-F. Bonomo, L’Arca Magazine

The Box
Culver City, CA

"The box … on even closer examination and particularly from below through the skylight – appears like some giant helioscope or similar astronomical instrument atop the building. Indeed, in some ways this turns out to be not too far from its actual function because of the eye-like corner window that literally reframes the view of the city like some special optical apparatus."

-P. Rowe, The Box

Internal building circulation is circumscribed across the entire site in a curving promenade or Central Hub that connects to office modules distributed throughout the project. The multi-story volume is the primary public activity zone of the project and connects offices, display areas, conference rooms, vendors, negotiation rooms, and the rest of the major program elements both vertically and horizontally. Above, a series of Conference Towers extend upward to provide private conference and presentation areas with expansive views of the surrounding park.

Cactus Tower This new structure is composed of 28

Cactus Tower
This new structure is composed of 28 steel pots, each holding sufficient earth for a single, Mexican Fence Post Cactus. Each pot-line is a linear sequence of five cacti, and a new structural truss spanning from one edge of the original steel structure to the other. The pots are compression struts, five per truss, serving as the vertical chords of the five new trusses that compose the garden. The top chord of each new truss is an 8 inch steel “T”, the bottom chord is a steel cable. Each pot is slotted from below, and the depth of each slotted pot varies as a function of the position of each pot in the truss sequence.
