Ivy Station Creative Office Building

Situated along the Metro Expo Line, this mixed-use building engages a new public park and transit plaza in the center of Culver City’s transit district.

The building features 225,000 sf of office space over four levels that sit above 25,000 sf of ground-level retail space. Planned with sustainability in mind, the building’s generous overhangs shield the park façade from the southern sun. Likewise, the glassline is turned away from the harsh western sun with a sawtooth façade pattern that becomes integral to the building’s identity.

The building is thoughtfully amenitized: roll-up doors open the interiors to views of the park below, allowing indoor-outdoor spaces on all levels.

An outdoor atrium offers “living rooms in the sky” - furnished lounge areas dispersed across floors that create a vertical amenity zone. 

A generous roof deck is accessible from an external sculptural stair.
