Design permeates all that we do, from how we custom build each team to suit the project through to the careful selection of materials and space planning.
Our vision is to bring the design to all elements of what we do as a firm. Glass walls delineate the individual offices, which can seat anywhere from one to 10 workers. The Modernus partitions are made of high-tech glass that helps block noise.
For those who need extra privacy, the building has sound-proof phone booths by Room. The work areas are furnished with pieces from Herman Miller , including sit-to-stand desks by Brian Alexander and Sayl office chairs by Behar.
Each floor has communal tables made of aluminium and blue calcite marble, which were designed M-Projects. Suspended above the tables are bespoke lighting fixtures that also were created by M-Projects, in collaboration with local studio MaryMar Ceramics. Planters and waste bins made of distressed stone add a rustic touch. Bathrooms are adorned with blue terrazzo tiles, Japanese bidet toilets and watercolours by Joe Ferris that were inspired by the sea.
On the building's ground level, the company has opened a shop that sells office, travel and lifestyle products curated by Monocle. Nicole Morrison. The kitchen at Villa San Francisco. San Francisco artist Yvonne Mouser made the custom bent-ash dining set, whose curves nod to the Arc de Triomphe.
Mortazavi, then single, regularly threw raucous parties that took advantage of an unfettered floor plan which includes dining room, kitchen and living room significantly brightened by a new set of southwest-facing windows.
A master bath and bedroom have views of the city skyline through floor-to-ceiling windows. In place of a somewhat cramped basement, Mortazavi dug deeper to expand the space and established an open-to-the-public art gallery complete with a small, secluded patio accessible through sliding industrial doors designed for use in airplane hangars. As a collector, it was an opportunity to share a selection of his favorite pieces, which remain a focus throughout. The gallery has since been closed and the rooms converted into an additional guest room and bedroom for his child, but art remains at every turn.
Though the artworks vary widely in sizes and styles, the thematic thread is one of materiality and versatility.
Two backyard sculptures by Brooklyn, N. There are paintings made from excess paint chips and wall art composed of roofing material.
