Renovating a Century-Old Building in Downtown Los Angeles

Design for the renovation of the building and the interiors of the AEG space is by the Los Angeles office of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, LLP (SOM).

The adaptive reuse of this 5-story concrete and brick building will include loft offices with a new glass pavilion added above the existing roof, creating a new 6th level. SOM’s design will include significant structural upgrades into the building to fully meet the seismic and lateral loading code. The existing steel windows will be refurbished and new storefronts will be designed for the Street Level.
