As an anchor business in the new development, Studio One Eleven opened their new creative office there, which ultimately spurred the redevelopment of the entire center. The office was designed to create an invigorating yet functional environment that befits the firm culture. The design removes all but one private office, crafting a space where teams can share one collaborative, creative, open space. Scattered amid the office are break-out rooms that act as collaborative pods for meetings. A mezzanine wraps the perimeter of the interior space, creating a “bridgewalk” overlook with lounges, workspaces and pin-up zones. The entire space is programmed with elements including: hospitality kitchen, open work clusters, idea lounges, flex offices, a community room, material library, shower and lockers, and outdoor patios.

The project builds on the foundation of the previous development to create an urban environment that integrates into downtown Long Beach. The project will gradually repurpose the eight-block area into a vibrant mixed-use district featuring a hub of great restaurants, businesses, and retail for the residents of Long Beach to enjoy.
