Culver City, CA
32,000 square feet

Located in the heart of Culver City’s historic Hayden
Tract, this 32,000 square foot, ‘50’s era warehouse
building has two 25’ high vaulted spaces with curvred
glue-lam beams. With an intended use of special events
and production, meeting the parking needs and the
creation of a single open space were the toughest
challenges facing the design team. To achieve the
parking count, a subterranean garage was created below
the existing structure. To create an open, unified event
space the nine existing columns in the center of the
building were replaced with two steel columns, 110’ feet
apart, supporting a 150’ steel truss which catches the
ends of the curved glue-lam beams. Finally, the front bay
of the existing building was replaced by a two-story
cast-in-place concrete, steel, and wood structure
containing the entrance lobby, restrooms, offices, and
other event spaces.
