The history of 1925 E. Maple is varied and exciting. With its roots dating back to the colorful fashion world housing pioneer, creative entrepreneur Helena Rubenstein, to its most recent use, home to the aerospace industry giant Boeing, this building is quintessential Southern California architecture. It was through this historical lens that ShubinDonaldson focused their design. It was important to be honest to the iconic mid-century aesthetic while creating a forward-driven, timeless design to successfully house its future occupants. The creation of two distinct entry canopies work as beacons to lure guests to both the east and west sides. The powder-coated steel and anodized aluminum canopies were designed to be an abstract reference to the buildings industrial history and at the same time, an artful contrast to the timeless strength and patina of brick. These entry points create visual markers saturated with color and landscaping as well as identify the end points of the circulation axis that runs through the building. This axis is further reinforced by the creation of light wells that are connected to a central skylight, flooding light through the space, supplementing the original industrial steel frame windows.
