Housed in a cavernous former photo studio turned Art Deco temple downtown, Simone reveals its intricacies almost immediately: Visitors stroll past antique mirrors, an open kitchen, and a cocktail bar surrounded by leaded glass windows to access the 75-seat dining room, one that’s richly outfitted with tufted velvet banquettes and handmade brass chandeliers.

The custom-designed space brings some of their favorite California elements to life, creating an interplay of indoor and outdoor space in the 5,000-square-foot expanse. “The relationship between architecture and landscape is very different here than in New York,” Mansur says.

Inspired by the existing architecture and the Client’s vision of a New York-style loft space, Electric Bowery envisioned a complete redesign of the floor plan. All interior walls were removed to create an open central work space, with new offices and conference areas defined by walls of steel and glass, to facilitate a collaborative work environment. The custom-designed and fabricated steel-framed glazing provides a striking compliment to the building's industrial bones, while the accompanying interior design adds warmth to the environment with walnut millwork, feature lighting and custom-designed furniture pieces. The result is a modern and inviting office environment, flooded with natural daylight.
