LACC’s First Design Tour of 2019 – Akerman LLP, Thursday, 4/30 5:30 – 8:30pm

Greetings Los Angeles Design Community! Just around the corner is IIDA, LACC’s very first design tour of 2019!! And it is going to be a great one…

Downtown Los Angeles has no shortage of office buildings. Springing up out of an underdeveloped urban center, newer high-rises have grown to dominate the landscape, offering a contrast to the uniquely Californian architecture that illustrated the city’s history in decades past. With the older buildings, local architects and designers are in the middle of creating a renaissance; pairing a century-old history with the needs of a changing contemporary culture.

This is the story at the backdrop of the law offices of Akerman LLP. Located in Bunker Hill’s CalEdison building, one would imagine that a law office beyond the warm, dark art deco lobby would include heavy wood desks, books lining the walls, private offices lining the spaces where light comes in. But gone are the days of the dark chambers of legal offices, and Wirt Design Group’s work on Akerman’s new digs showcase everything the modern law office strives to be. Exposed concrete and raw materials inspire a space that feels fresh.

A large focus on gathering and entertaining both indoors and out make Akerman a different company, and you can experience this with IIDA’s LA City Center on Tuesday, April 30 5:30PM – 8:30PM.

Our evening will take us through the social spaces of the office, touching on the design of the building and the benefits to those who occupy the space. Join us to learn more about this project. Tickets can be purchased on the event page here.

Hurry, as space is limited and tickets will sell out! See you on Tuesday, April 30th!
