Morphosis, the prominent Culver City-based architecture firm founded by Thom Mayne, the 2005 Pritzker Prize winner, is widely recognized for its remarkable contributions to local architecture. With a portfolio encompassing iconic landmarks like the Caltrans District 7 headquarters in Downtown Los Angeles, the West Coast campus of Emerson College in Hollywood, and the new Orange County Museum of Art, the firm\u2019s innovative designs have left a lasting impression on the city\u2019s skyline.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
The latest endeavor undertaken by Morphosis, in partnership with Chicago-based Cardiff Mason Development, is a self-storage complex located just west of the 405 Freeway in Westchester. A mortuary formerly occupied the project site at 7366 Osage Avenue, and now, the firms are embarking on a venture that deviates from the conventional approach to real estate assets.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
Spanning approximately 50,000 square feet, the forthcoming building will feature three above-grade levels, three below-grade levels, and parking for 17 vehicles. The distinctive aspect of the design sets it apart from typical self-storage facilities found throughout the region. Instead of the ubiquitous orange roll-down doors seen in most Public Storage projects, the Osage Avenue development showcases a metal exterior embellished with inlaid text, complemented by a striking yellow painted wall beneath exterior screens.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
The project\u2019s initial study, as released by the City of Los Angeles, indicates that construction is expected to take approximately 23 months.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
