The design of 200 Occidental honors the neighborhood’s historical character, while presenting a modern, deeply green interpretation that celebrates the adjacent park. The building creates a reflective backdrop to Occidental Park’s canopy of London Plane trees, and features inviting retail and lobby entries to activate the building edge and pedestrian experience. 📷: @k7scott

The composed, high-performance glass façade at 200 Occidental highlights the indoor/outdoor relationship between the office and adjacent park. Masonry brick “shoulders” wrap around the other three façades, creating a respectful relationship with the building’s historic neighbors. LEED Platinum certified. 📷: @k7scott

At 1036 Mission, the c-shaped building wraps around a serene second-level courtyard that provides protected play space for children and abundant daylight to common areas, corridors and units. A eucalyptus log play structure inspires children’s imagination and brings biophilic benefits to the dense, urban environment. 📷: @brucedamonte

We’re thrilled to share that Blakely Elementary School was recognized with the 2021 A4LE Washington Polished Apple Award!

Since its opening in 1922, the @HollywoodBowl has been the premier destination for live music in Southern California, hosting everyone from Billie Holiday to The Beatles to Yo-Yo Ma under the iconic silhouette of its concentric-arched band shell. Our Los Angeles studio, Mithun | Hodgetts + Fung completed master planning and redesign of the landmark performing arts center and amphitheater with Gruen Associates, executive architect. The new band shell re-invents the acoustics, enhances the functionality and nearly doubles the size of the eighty-year-old icon it replaced, while echoing the memory and visual identity of the beloved original. The structure enhances the experience of traditional orchestral ensembles, mic’d performances and large traveling shows. 📷: Tom Bonner Tell us, what shows have you seen at the Hollywood Bowl?

We’re excited to participate in this weekend’s Seattle Design Festival, a two-day street fair celebrating the powerful ways design affects our lives. Our contribution, the Pop-up Lounge celebrates decentering the designer through active listening to community needs. In conversations with Sawhorse Revolution, a fabulous non-profit that teaches youth carpentry and design through community projects, Mithun learned that they needed tables… so we built a collection for the temporary exhibit and later relocation to the new Sawhorse classroom. We hope you’ll swing by Lake Union Park this weekend, Aug 21 & 22, and visit the Pop-up Lounge to engage with other guests and consider the voices that are often left out of design conversations!
