Project Description

A 35,000 square foot buildout at the recently completed Columbia Square in Hollywood.  The project included completely new buildouts in two separate buildings, each with a distinctly unique design.  The Gower building features the more typical office and conference center buildout with open area work areas, huddle rooms, and pantries.  Finishes in the Gower building included exposed sealed concrete and epoxy floors with carpet and wood flooring accents, glass and metal office fronts, full height guitar storage cabinets with painted lacquer finish and custom hardware.  The two floor buildout is featured by a radius interconnecting stair comprised of AESS steel stringer and railings with blackened wood stair treads.

The Bungalow buildout incorporated the more industrial wood framed historical structure to house the company’s product development and studio spaces.  Features included a two story high canted wall with reveal openings that peek through to adjacent spaces, a sound studio and amp room utilizing historical materials, exposed concrete and wood finishes with modern lighting accents, new huddle areas, office and conference rooms, along with a complete restroom buildout.
