The East End Glendale Campus is an urban production complex northeast of Los Angeles, located on a main thoroughfare that connects directly with Downtown. This site features two newly constructed sound stages adjacent to a surface parking lot, with three stories of office space buffering the private facility from the busy street.
The sound stages feature ancillary uses (green rooms, makeup, etc.), and the offices are designed to fit optimal scales of production. The surface parking is partially covered for an outdoor mill with ample room for staging, trucks, and trailers.

The building is designed to seamlessly integrate with the surrounding site elements while promoting pedestrian activity along Glendale Ave. The main office building along this front facade provides a series of setback areas with built-in planters and benches that integrate with the existing streetscape. These setback areas break up the massing of the building, creating a human-scaled edge that intentionally promotes pedestrian activity and engagement.
The overall building design is reinforced with premium materials and thoughtful detailing. The vertical wood louvers and glazed curtain wall contrast with the smooth concrete surfaces, creating variation and visual interest. The building's palette is thoughtfully curated with colors and materials that work well together and complement the overall site design.
