Culver City Building
The internal structural frame closely follows the exterior shape. Four corner columns undergo a series of compound miters to reflect the curving form. The building consists of a ground floor, a mezzanine, a second floor, and a covered roof deck connected by and internal stair and elevator.

Rancho Cienega Sports Complex Building L.A.
The new plan will employ pre-engineered manufactured buildings (PEMBs), combining them with custom details to create an architecturally distinct but exceptionally cost-effective build. Through the use of PEMBs, SPF:a has been able to deliver a larger, much more comprehensive offer than initially proposed by the city.
The Getty Center
Design: Richard Meier & Partners with other architects
Getty Center Los Angeles Building
The Getty Center, in Los Angeles, California, is a campus of the Getty Museum and other programs of the Getty Trust.
