2025 Commercial Real Estate Awards: Tenant Improvement

CONFIDENTIAL TECHNOLOGY CLIENT
City: Santa Monica
GC: Swinerton Builders
Architect: Kevin Daly Architects / Woods & Dangaran

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Santa Monica, this 6,835 square foot, two-story ofÿce space with a mezzanine level is a beacon of creativity and innovation. Completed in July 2024, the project revitalizes an old auto paint workshop, transforming it into a modern, functional workspace designed to inspire its users. Upon entering, guests are welcomed by a cutting-edge coffee and smoothie bar that sets the tone for the inviting atmosphere. The main lobby features lush Ficus trees, comfortable lounge seating, and a striking LED screen wall, suited for dynamic presentations. The design prioritizes collaboration, offering diverse workspaces with contemporary furniture and advanced technology, reimagining traditional ofÿce layouts. Numerous exterior balconies and rich interior landscaping infuse the space with life and fresh air, enhancing the overall ambiance. The open °oor plan contributes to a grand and welcoming environment, while state-of-the-art mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, including ballistic ÿlms, high-performance glazing, and reinforced drywall, ensure both functionality and security. The client saw the opportunity to revitalize the space and bring new life to the community. The unconventional build-out looks more like an upscale mid-century modern lounge than a silicon beach tech company’s workspace and is being used not only as an ofÿce, but also as a showcase environment for the community to learn about VR/AR technology and products.
