9350 Civic Center Drive represents the transformation of a 30,000 sf one-story brick warehouse adjacent to the Beverly Hills Civic Center, into creative office space. A new steel structural frame, designed to retain existing wood trusses, was introduced to create a new mezzanine and rooftop parking deck, while simultaneously providing seismic reinforcement for the original walls.

The east and north façades were replaced with fully-glazed walls, providing ample light and a view of the new ramp that rises through the structure to roof-top parking. The north glazed wall was set back to provide an entry court, a translucent stair/elevator tower, and a suspended steel and concrete bridge connecting to the mezzanine entrance.

The west and south facades, retained from the existing masonry building, have a rhythm of large punched openings down their length, as well as a continuous clerestory above. Three linear skylights in the roof deck allow direct sunlight to penetrate the center of the building, reaching the ground floor at midday.
