An office building in the heart of LA, rethinking the contemporary office space in light of changing conceptualizations of work-life balance and the nature of office spaces. Recent studies have shown that open offices can damage the workers attention span, productivity, creative thinking, and overall satisfaction. They can be distracting and often have little to no privacy. The driving force of this project was to create an office space that allows people to isolate themselves when they are working: allowing them to control their own productivity and level of social interactions. The boxes projecting out along the canyon are private offices for individual workers. 

The Whipple Family Forest Education Center will be a place for educational and career opportunities, aimed to educate the public on the Arkansas Forests and its timber industry through arts and cultural experiences. It sill be an economic development tool for the Garvan Woodland Gardens, and is planning to house job skill training workshops, as well as temporary and permanent exhibitions. The WFFEC is projected to total 5,000 sqft and the facility will be constructed predominantly of Arkansas-sourced wood and timber.
