designboom visited the studio of eric owen moss architects in culver city, california. located within a district featuring many of his constructed projects, the office is contained within a single storey brick building with a series of pitched roofs. the organization of the office begins with reception which leads to the communal work space via a corridor lined with momentos of the firm’s achievements and photographs of their work.

upon entering the spacious and open working area, the eye is drawn to hundreds of completed, conceptual or in progress models stored on shelves, tables and platforms as well as drawings pinned along every wall. north-facing clerestory windows introduce a natural ambient light into the room providing staff with an illuminated atmosphere for design and contemplation. computer stations are surrounded with model making tables and supplies to encourage an integrated hands-on approach to generate functional forms.
