SECOND HOME HOLLYWOOD
Los Angeles, CA
Originally conceived as a new model for creative nomadic workspace in London, Second Home Hollywood offers individual office pods for rent immersed in shared landscape program that promotes wandering, exploration and the cross pollination of ideas between tenants.
Designed in collaboration with the Madrid-based firm SelgasCano, each discrete and transparent pod is submerged in the landscape so that the interior work surfaces align with the ground plane. The thick vegetation throughout the site provides privacy, cooling and shade.
The layered tree canopy overhead overs a spectacular view toward the sky and a filtered and dappled light condition to work within. The tropical planting provides subtle wayfinding cues to tenants through zones of differentiated color.
