HEI Project Profile - Long

After setting a new standard for flexible-office space design across Europe, Second Home partnered with Henderson Engineers to launch Second Home Hollywood in fall 2019 - the group’s first U.S. location. Importing cultural amenities from London to Los Angeles, Second Home serves as a hybrid space for innovative thinkers and creative start-ups. Featuring 60 single-story studios, Second Home Hollywood can accommodate 200 companies and more than 1,400 people by offering an inspiring workspace which serves as both an incubator for new ideas and a platform to drive conceptual design. Additionally, Second Home acts as a social hub where guests can network through a publicly-accessible restaurant, roof deck, and outdoor terrace and access unique resources such as a bookshop, auditorium, recording studio, and post-production editing facility. Brought to life through an extensive remodel of a historic Paul Williams-designed building and addition of office pods, Second Home Hollywood integrates well with the surrounding neighborhood, using landscape and a diverse base of materials, such as acrylics, fabric membrane, and colored tubing to blend form and function. Henderson partnered with Swinerton, an industry leader in mass-timber construction to design a roof structure to complement the walking paths, connecting 90,000 SF of office space with an elegant, structurally sound, and cost effective solution.
