DesignHive

Housed in the Wells Fargo Center on Grand Avenue and the Gas Company Tower on 5th street, SAA conceptualizes one of six vertical environments for potential tenants in a spec suite design competition event hosted by Brookfield. SAA has pulled from our collective industry expertise to design this progressive workspace for a boutique hedge fund. With Downtown Los Angeles becoming a revitalized urban center, this type of workspace will highlight the opportunity business owners will have to move their companies to a rich cultural environment and redefine the concept of flexibility and collaboration in an office.

SAA's design solution for a boutique trading and investment firm is a delicate balance of classical form, baroque decoration, and minimalist design. The deep purple a traditional color expressing wealth; the classically detailed conference room door, Italianate wallcoverings and stylized chandelier over the bar. Our references to myth--the Goddess Fortuna as represented in art--set into a minimalist, abstract environment is a world of magic and commerce.
