| Just east of downtown Los Angeles, this work transforms a defunct, awkward but prominent building on the I-10 freeway through an extensive renovation. A new exterior envelope dramatically re-shapes and re-proportions the building while working with the volumetric constraints set by its existing structural frame. The resultant form is visually more prominent along the freeway, delivering a distinctive landmark, and a highly day-lit, sustainable workplace. The new floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall provides dramatic visual transparency communicating Cathay Bank’s “open door” approach to banking. |
