Treasury Services

Office Building
Santa Monica, CA

This existing 40,000 sf structure, a former GTE billing center which suffered damage during the 1994 Northridge Earthquake, has been adapted to accommodate its new tenant, Treasury Services Corporation. The facility is primarily a two-story building with a 4,000 sf penthouse and a 2,000 sf roof deck. The sales conference room, a large training room and the main kitchen are located in the penthouse. The ground and 2nd floor are relatively large floor plates measure 130’ x 150’. To bring natural light into the center of the space, the perimeter manager’s offices all have large expanses of glass. The central core houses the elevators and computer rooms.

In the open office areas, the concrete columns and ceilings have been exposed to open the area up and visual interest with the exposed structure and mechanical systems. Natural cherry wood panels accent the vertical elements of the main lobby, while the terrazzo floor and its patterns invoke images of the building’s vintage. Earth tones and warm colors have been used along the accent walls.
