“The architectural language of stacked shifting boxes provides opportunities for outdoor extensions of office space in the form of en suite outdoor terraces. These flexible terraces provide space for breakout meetings, social events, and larger gatherings. The orientation of the terraces take advantage of the various views from the site: the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Hollywood Hills to the north and the Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook to the south. Natural building materials, including the reinforced concrete structure and subtle variations in exterior cement panels complement the floor-to-ceiling glass and native landscaping.” (www.5950Jefferson.com)

The project is primarily poured in place concrete, yet incorporates structural steel staircases.The exterior staircase features a screening material that provides an elegant design aesthetic. The main entry core stairs is elaborately clad in wood to be a main feature in the building.

The site was located on the corner of a very busy intersection. Utilizing street permits allowed for construction equipment and street parking while the lay down yard was about a 1/4 mile from the site. Material supplies had to be shuttled back and forth between the lot and the project site. 

Adjacent to the building is an automobile valet operated state-of-the-art mechanical car stacker system. Multiple electric vehicle charging stations installed with electric scooter parking provided.

The Jefferson Corridor is the newest technology and media hub for companies such as Amazon, HBO, and Apple and 5950 Jefferson is an excellent creative office addition to the neighborhood.
