\"Day<\/div>\n

Los Angeles-based studio 22RE<\/a> has designed a workplace for a local creative agency in the former studio of artist Ed Ruscha.<\/span><\/p>\n

Featuring a monolithic Douglas fir and stucco-clad exterior, the 1,800-square-foot (167-square-metre) building in Glassell Park was overhauled by 22RE<\/a> to house offices for creative agency Day Job<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Central
Central workstations sit on green carpet and against stainless steel panels in Day Job’s offices<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The interiors are designed to be “distinctly Californian in palette and sensibility,” and offer a residential feel through layered materials and textures.<\/p>\n

A sunken “piazza” in the centre of the space forms the heart of the office where the workstations are located.<\/p>\n

The floor in the centre is lowered due to structural constraints, forming a “piazza”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Created to address structural constraints, this area nods “to Italian town squares and playful forms of Soviet modernism” according to 22RE.<\/p>\n

It also serves as a gathering space for informal meetings, and is punctuated by circular skylights overhead.<\/p>\n

\"Lounge
22RE created a custom sofa, armchair and coffee table for the lounge area<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The green carpet under the bespoke cherry wood desks is reflected in tall stainless steel panels that run along the back wall.<\/p>\n

Orange cement floor tiles cover the grade-level areas, which include a lounge with custom-designed sofas and a dining area with a stainless steel-framed table and chairs.<\/p>\n

A kitchen beyond comprises floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and an island all fronted in cherry wood, which is used throughout the workplace, and is surrounded by a backsplash of oxblood-red tiles by Heath Ceramics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Details including rounded cabinet handles, chrome-finish faucets and stainless steel countertops add a retro-futuristic twist to the otherwise residential aesthetic.<\/p>\n
