Harley Ellis Devereaux Unveils New Office Space in Downtown Los AngelesHarley Ellis Devereaux's new Los Angeles office isn't the typical workspace of an architecture firm.
When the award-winning national firm set out to relocate from the mid-Wilshire area to design their own new space at 601 South Figueroa, one of downtown's premier Class-A office towers, the project team wanted employees to step away from the drafting table and instead, to gather in huddle spaces to collaborate.
"The flexibility of the space, furniture and workstations promotes collaboration among our design studio and support staff.
These design elements are becoming the norm in the corporate world, but many design firms are still centered on large desks and drafting tables.
We needed to bring people together, and the new office was a perfect way to reinforce our collaborative culture," said Enrique Suarez, AIA, principal and studio leader for the firm's corporate/commercial design studio.
The 35,375 square foot space located on the fourth and fifth floors of the 50-story tower accommodates 125 people and contains flexible workstations, pinup walls for displaying drawings and an open concept that offers a different spin on sustainability.
