Building by Gehry in Downtown Culver City

Building in downtown Culver City designed by Gehry

In a cul-de-sac street off Washington Blvd. in Culver City (3939 Landmark Street) sits the Culver City Gehry Loggia Building. The Loggia was created by Frank Gehry, a designer widely recognized as being one of the best and most prestigious in the world today (Pritzker Prize 1989) and an architect and artist with a long list of awards.

A tilted-up concrete warehouse once occupied the Loggia. Its concrete facade has been covered in wood with a loggia separating it from its outer glass front. Softening the edges of the structure was made possible by this design. There are glass trees attached to the outside walls that seem to float. During the evening, when the lights are on, the Loggia appears to glow. For Park Century School, this 47000 square foot warehouse was gutted and redesigned.

Children attending Culver City Park Century School typically have language-based learning issues such as dyslexia and ADHD, and often both conditions are present at the same time. The school has 12 large classrooms, six small-group rooms and 12 tutoring rooms designed especially for students with varied daily schedules. The layout was kept simple with fewer curves and angles, hallway noise was reduced as to not disrupt classes, and a parents lounge was provided away from the main entrance.
