Classic and contemporary styles clash inside Gensler’s stunning regeneration of an art-deco masonic temple. Now occupied by CBRE, this stunning office space sensitively deals with the art deco style of this old masonic temple in Glendale, California; utilising modern materials and finishes to celebrate - not conceal - the traditional features throughout. Most spectacular is the attic space at the top of the tower; with the original 1920′s wood trusses left gloriously exposed while Gensler’s new additions take root beneath. Meeting rooms jutting off from the main double-height space are rendered in glass so views out into the office are never obstructed. When planning permission was given for the nine-storey building to be renovated, it didn’t take long to find a client… CBRE have now collaborated with Gensler for more than two dozen office projects. Now that’s customer satisfaction!More at: Gensler & Interior Design Magazine -- source link
