Santa Monica HQ
An open-office interior precedent showcasing how exposed board-formed concrete and industrial ductwork can be softened by warm fabric pendants and tactile workstation finishes.
- What we like about this project
- Large dome pendant fixtures use a warm woven shade that contrasts sharply against the raw board-formed concrete ceiling.

- Geometry
- Longitudinal open-plan office space featuring a primary circulation corridor flanked by modular workstations and glazed partition walls.
- Facade system
- Internal steel-framed glazed partitions with fluted glass sections.
- Structural guess
- Concrete flat slab and columns supporting an industrial structure.
- Spatial scale
- Standard commercial office floor with a ceiling height of roughly 12 to 14 feet.
- Lighting
- A combination of natural daylight from side windows, ambient glow from fabric dome pendants, and focused task lighting on desks.
- Atmosphere
- Productive yet relaxed, combining rugged architectural shell elements with soft, textured interior layers.
- Environmental context
- Interior corporate headquarters workplace with perimeter windows and glazed meeting rooms.
- Spatial experience
- The view moves down a continuous office aisle, balancing industrial rawness overhead with warm fabric pendants and human-scale work desks below.
- Composition rhythm
- A strong linear rhythm created by parallel runs of spiral HVAC ducts, overhead pendants, and workstation rows receding into depth.
