Built for a private equity firm, our Shamrock proj

Built for a private equity firm, our Shamrock project looks at how to bring the office back in a post-pandemic environment. After a series of programming exercises SD discovered that the company’s employees needed warm healthy environments that encouraged collaboration and promoted in-person interactions. Our solution was to create a series of warm lounge-like spaces, such as our entry, kitchen, and various breakout spaces with rich textures and biophilia, to break up the extended plan and create zones that promote in-person interaction. Swipe to see the zones in action.⁠

Open to the air, our #WakecrestResidence has an axial motif that flows between the building’s two principal volumes into a tall vaulted central living space. The entrance to this home has a glass canopy that casts abstract liquid pattern shadows onto a series of cast concrete steppingstones traversing a small reflecting pool while symmetrical glowing glass cubes add a mysterious glow to the walls of the entry court heightening the sense of arrival at the front door. Swipe to see more images of this dramatic entrance to this modern coastal retreat.⁠

In order to provide our #3101PCH tenants with fresh air, natural light, and unobstructed bayside views; individual dormers were demolished to create inset terraces, floor slabs were removed to create double-height spaces, existing window openings were made full height, and prominent street and bayside gables walls were opened up with floor-to-ceiling curtain walls creating transparency from street to bayside.

Conceived with wellness in mind, our design for @muradskincare Headquarters visually reflects the company’s 3-faceted Inclusive Health philosophy of “Look Better, Live Better, Feel Better” while also integrating the company’s values of exercise, diet/healthcare, and beauty. Informed by a biomimetic design approach the physical layout of this 41,500 sqft contains various departments “organs”, a walking track “tissue”, work areas “cells” and common areas “nucleus”. Swipe to see how this “host organism” comes to life.⁠

Our Confidential Technology Company is the proud winner of the 2023 Lumen West Merit Award for Interior Lighting. Congratulations to @oculuslightstudio and our whole team for a great collaboration.⁠
⁠
Constructed as both a maker space and lab, light levels were balanced throughout the project to help differentiate the variety of spaces. One of these spaces, known as “The Street”, is made up of plywood panels, laser-etched with specific drawings that help inform visitors of the company’s lab-related studies. Hung in the company colors, layers of Neon light help articulate and accent certain drawing areas to allow for moments of deep thinking and novel interaction.⁠ Swipe to see some images of this award-winning project.⁠
