Council District 5 Office

JKA was asked by the client to design tenant improvements within a historic building for the new City of Los Angeles, 5,160 square foot, Council District 5 field office. The program provides accessibility upgrades, office spaces, a conference room, entry lobby, as well as a large open flexible space connecting the mezzanine and ground floor.

The central area is a double-height communal gathering and work area that can act as a multifunctional event space. Special security precautions were required around the entrance and storefront area to ensure staff safety. The design strategy employed was one that would provide a light, airy environment while being sensitive to the City’s budgetary constraints.
