FABLETICS

GC: Sierra Pacific Constructors
Architect: Moshiri Associates, Inc.
The recently finished project at Fabletics stands as the flagship office for the e-commerce giant. This new space features diverse work environments aimed at optimizing employee collaboration and productivity. It was carefully designed amidst the challenges of COVID to prioritize employee wellness and safety. The ethos of staying on the cutting edge is deeply ingrained, and this spirit echoes through the construction, design, and architecture of their workspace. Drawing inspiration from the innovation hub of Silicon Valley, the entire business cycle of fashion retail has been reimagined. Moshiri Associates breathed new life into a former aerospace manufacturing facility through adaptive re-use.
The space unfolds with exposed ceilings and a robust concrete backdrop, creating a canvas that elevates the retail-quality finishes of the display and production areas. Communal space gives rise to a full photography cyclorama, dressing rooms and hair/makeup studios, fostering in-house production. Beyond aesthetics, amenity- driven design is interwoven, featuring multiple pantries and a full-service cafe adjacent to an open-air atrium, catering to both dining and conference needs.
The design of the outdoor courtyard contributes to the community’s well-being. With comfortable seating, a ping pong table, greenery, and an organic garden utilized daily by the chef, this space provides an additional dimension for relaxation and fresh air.

The development, which has been 10 years in the making, converted an underutilized office building in the heart of the Arts and Design District of West Hollywood into a world class for-sale super luxury condominium and retail mixed-use project. This project touches on many aspects of innovative infill urban rejuvenation, including the adaptive reuse of an aging building, integration of mixed-income housing in a historically commercial area, architecturally important design, LEED Gold sustainability and highly complex construction at the highest quality level.
The project was highly complex and represents several notable innovations, including doubling the original structure in size by extending each floor plate in three directions.
2201 ROSECRANS
Developer: Continental Development Corporation
GC: Turner Construction Company
Architect: ShubinDonaldson Partners
2201 Rosecrans is a substantial adaptive reuse project in El Segundo that sought to breathe new life into a nondescript 85,000 square foot two-story concrete building from the 1960s. The original building, utilized as a metal manufacturing facility, lacked natural light and communal spaces. Our mission was clear: transform 2201 Rosecrans into a beacon of well-being and connection.
The building’s exterior underwent a remarkable transformation with a modern curtain wall facade and strategically placed punch openings. Materials played a vital role, blending concrete, glass, and steel with wood ceilings, screens, and biophilia to balance permanence and comfort.
