707 Wilshire Boulevard
Location: Los Angeles, California, USA
Client: Hines
The objective of this substantial design upgrade was to create a more public-friendly avenue through the ground floor of the existing 707 Wilshire office tower. To achieve this, the scope included the removal of existing North and South Plaza visual and physical barricades, such as battered walls and obstructive raised planters. The new plaza includes seating elements inviting to pedestrians. The existing North and South Lobby entrances were modified to include an approximately 45 foot by 73 foot visually clear, point-supported glass wall system, replacing a portion of the existing dark curtain wall. The new glass wall projects out approximately 2 feet from the existing curtain wall, creating a visual portal into the lobbies revealing: the existing double volume space; exhibiting new paving and finishes accenting a large-scale use of primary colors echoing the classic color palette of the artist, Ellsworth Kelly; and by night, illuminated picture windows will create both a sense of welcome and security. Interior design services were provided to redesign the ground-level branch bank and lobby including finishes and furnishings.
