Hirsch Construction Office Renovation

 Hirsch Construction Office Renovation
An iconic building  design pushes boundaries, structurally and  technically to exhibit the client’s  technical abilities in  construction. The renovated 1950’s office building is  located on a  highly visible corner of Anaheim and Quincy Adams in Long Beach,  CA.  Alain Hirsch, owner and general contractor, requested a building   representational of their business with a new and exciting work  environment to  inspire and energize the team.
The structural system  from inside gives the illusion of a hanging  façade over a glass wall and a pond  that can withstand the seismic and  wind forces as well as be stable enough for  a person or persons to sit  on. This also created a visual element in the  interior space. Materials  were chosen specifically to achieve this structural  composition. The  selection of Parklex wood panels combined with glass gives  sharp lines  and corners within the steel structure. The building is light and   transparent inside and outside. The design of the floating skewed  ceilings  combined with the tilted façade carries the building dynamism  to the inside  hence creating an energetic and innovative work  environment.
Green aspects of the  project were also included through material  selection and sustainable site  development. A white reflective roof was  installed for energy efficiency along  with use of metal screens on the  south elevation. The orientation of the  building blocks sunlight and  dual glazing is on all store fronts.
Being a corner site gave the opportunity to  explore new aesthetic which  now stands out from the existing row of adjacent  buildings
