Irvine, CA

Type: Office Size: 28,000 SF

Belkin creates technology enhancing products – phone cases, chargers, adapters, etc. - for digital devices, as well as security, infrastructure, energy and server-room solutions that can be integrated through centralized digital systems.

We joined the team to enhance product testing facilities located in Irvine, add a new data center, and update a lobby and open work area. The product testing labs were existing but required all new electrical and utility runs. Two floor mounted air conditioning units were installed on the exterior to support the testing facility. Existing lab furniture was removed, reconditioned and reinstalled, and completely new materials were installed throughout the lab space. A specific feature of the facility is a new anechoic sound deadening chamber used for precision testing equipment. The prefabricated chamber was installed to allow for tests requiring no interference from wireless signals. A new data center was also built with a pre-action sprinkler system that allows a delayed response in the case of fire, protecting the servers housed in the data center from damage. Installation of the system required the demolition of the existing wet sprinkler system. During the process of construction, it was discovered that there is a high water table under the building, and additional moisture barrier was required to protect the servers as well. A reception and lobby area renovation was also included in the scope of work, as well as open collaboration spaces.

72 & SUNNY Los Angeles, CA

Type: Office Size: 86,000 SF

72 and Sunny is a modern full-service design and advertising company with offices in Los Angeles and Amsterdam. Founded in 2004, the company was born out of a combination of frustration and excitement. Frustration that its industry was slow to adapt to the changing technology landscape, and excitement for all the new ways it can connect with people and a desire to explore that power. We were brought into design the MEP for a high-end modern space. With the design architectural firm of LeanArch Architects, the goal was to create a space exhibiting clean lines within a historical shell (The Hercules/Howard Hughes Campus). The project challenges for us were primarily mechanical as the client wanted completely open ceilings, but the trusses were very heavy duty and completely exposed. The architect didn’t want any MEP infrastructure below the trusses due to the low ceiling heights, but the HVAC still needed to function at a very high level to provide consistent comfort to the space’s inhabitants. In the end, 72 and Sunny was very happy with the outcome. It’s an alive and active environment; an open plan that encourages large groups of people to interact dynamically throughout the workday. This Phase 1 initiative was only the first building of two, Phase 2 consisted of office space, edit bays, server rooms, VO Booths and a magnificent bleacher auditorium which utilizes one of the first displacement ventilation systems retrofitted to connect into a VRF system.

We designed a phased replacement of the existing (2) 140 Ton air cooled chiller plant and the heating hot water plant. Building 300 underwent strategic modernization of the office spaces MEP systems which was all completed in a live environment as shut down of the floors were not an option. We designed a phased installation of the cooling system for their existing server room which remained operational during the construction using temporary cooling systems. Detailed site investigation was required to execute this project due to extremely stringent existing site conditions. The Building 303 scope consisted of multiple areas of office space renovation which was completed on a phased approach.

Our experience and ability to advise the client and the team in a leadership capacity was critical to executing this phased and complex renovation.

SONY PICTURES – JIMMY STEWART BUILDING

Culver City, CA

Type: Office and Studio Size: 212,000SF

With Sony's ever evolving need for space on the lot, the only option was up. So Sony embarked upon building an 8-Story high rise building on the lot.

This project involved the MEP design of a ground-up core and shell with extreme site constraints. As the core and shell design was almost finished we took on the challenge of designing 8 floors of technical space T.I. to provide a new home for the folks at Sony Music Group. The project comprised of a full cooking employee cafeteria, coffee shops, tour offices, humidification controlled museums, conference center, multiple interconnecting floors, open office spaces and private offices. We were instrumental in navigating the smoke control system through Culver City AHJ review process. The design utilizes a UUKL 864 listed mechanical controls system which doubles as a smoke controls system in-lieu of traditional methods of two completely separate systems. This approach save on both construction time and cost as the same wiring raceways could be dual purposed. This is one of the few installations of this type within the LA area.

Fullscreen is a global youth media company that develops online creators and produces multi-platform entertainment experiences for individuals and high profile brands. Six hundred million subscribers generate more than 5 billion video views across Fullscreen’s global network each month, and their collective content has become the largest independent network on YouTube. Fullscreen is one of the primary tenants on the creative office campus in Playa Vista. The first floor design emphasizes the company’s culture and work style and was built for employees as a reprieve from the office environment. The space is divided into distinct areas that each have an individual theme and style and flow seamlessly around one large hub. The open feel to this environment encourages visitors to “tour” the space, which was designed and built so people could “journey” through the unique areas. The overall space features an open ceiling design, combinations of both cool and vibrant paint colors, polished concrete floors, and color coordinated carpet to match painted wall and millwork sections. Floating soffits were installed throughout to create visual definitions of space within the open ceiling design. Both hanging and recessed custom light fixtures create focal points as well. The bleacher seating faces a swiveling screen composed of 9 individual LED monitors. The open plan office space beyond the break room features a continuation of open ceiling, floating soffits, polished concrete floor, multiple smaller conference rooms with full height glass, and a variety of lighting fixtures and seating.

RED BULL

Santa Monica, CA

Type: Office Size: 74,000SF

Red Bull North America is the world’s premium energy beverage manufacturer, known for bold, unique marketing campaigns that include film, documentaries, extreme sports, art and music events. The company’s exponential growth and diversification resulted in much needed additional office space in close proximity to their current offices in Santa Monica. Red Bull leased 1630 Stewart St., a 74,000 SF warehouse facility that was originally a brick-making factory, among other things, and they engaged our services to design the MEP for their space. We also played a major role with lease negotiations to ensure that Redbull's requirements, especially in terms of system capacities, are provided as part of the core and shell systems. Prior to Red Bull North America’s occupancy, the building was multi-tenanted and thus divided into smaller suites. The interior was completely demolished to accommodate an open floor plan as well as expand the existing mezzanine for more usable work and meeting room space. Weekly meetings and close communication with the Client were vital to ensure successful execution of the design, which incorporated the existing charm of the building – red brick and steel columns – in a cohesive manner. The new design posed many challenges and required close communication with the City of Santa Monica and various engineering firms to resolve various structural challenges. The first floor design is centered on a main street concept that connects the employee café and barista, reception and informal meeting space and interior gardens, marrying the client’s collaborative nature immediately upon entering the building. However, the jewel of the building is truly the visual center which is comprised of a series of strategically placed floating conference rooms located on the mezzanine level.

DISNEY TV GROUP

Burbank, CA

Type: Office Size: 21,000SF

Disney TV Group revamped the 11th floor of 3800 W. Alameda. The project was forensic in execution from a mechanical perspective, as there were no as-built drawings available. We surveyed all existing VAV boxes and WSHP's, created existing as-built plans and reused 50% of the existing VAV boxes and WSHP's in different areas of the floor to work with the completely new space plan design in order to aid with keeping the project on budget. The space comprised of edit bays, finishing rooms, master control rooms, VO Booths, QC rooms, private offices, open plan office space, conference rooms, server room and collaboration areas. Interesting challenges arose such as the study of all condenser water usage within the building to figure out creative solutions to provide sufficient capacity to support the 11th floor programmatic needs.
