Relocating a Bruce’s Catering Company across the street into a re-proposed 1-story, 30,800 s.f± Building in Panorama City can be fun. 22,000 s.f± was re-purposed for the catering kitchen inside while updating the entire building for accessibility, structure, and MEP issues. From the cools, freezers, bakery to the storage for costumes, supplies, all were designed around the efficient flow of all separate activities. The remaining portion of the building is used as the new corporate offices and conference center. The exterior parking was also set up for 30 catering trucks and all their utility support. This facility is also used for emergency response food catering beyond the studio work they currently do. Natural lighting, entry court yards and a new look provides a new level of care for all the employees.
Manufacturing
A dot com company, we were asked to combine 5 division located outside of the area and recreated a innovated facility with all divisions. This included corporate offices, manufacturing, and warehouse. We also added 56 pieces of equipment to the work flow enviroment inside the manufacturing department.
This project was for an 8,000 SF one story new light industrial-warehouse building with accessory use offices with storage above and two bathrooms for future suites. The project was a slab on grade with concrete block and built up roofing. The project required landscaping services as well as rear parking. We used high windows and skylights for natural lighting within the building. The building was also designed in mind to accommodate the two tenants. Our roles included schematic design, design development, construction documents, construction administration and expediting government approvals. This was considered a corner commercial project that with which we achieved an industrial use city planning modification for. Cost: 1.3 Million.
