A windowless 1980s-era retail warehouse, 842 North Spring Street is now one of the first and largest hybrid CLT buildings in L.A. The office blends the city’s high-rise and warehouse cultures—with a material palette of mass timber, steel, and concrete, and a floor plan that integrates outdoor workspace and biophilic design.

LEVER worked with landscape architect Field Operations to leverage the climate and landscape the city is known for. Outdoor space is maximized in and around the building with a tiered vertical garden courtyard between the office wings, open-air circulation spaces, private balconies, and a shared rooftop amenity deck—all contributing to
the well-being of anyone in
the building.

In addition to natural ventilation, the project hits sustainability and wellness targets via a rooftop solar PV array, EV charging stations, more than 200 bike stalls, recycling rainwater for reuse on-site as landscape irrigation, and a facade designed to reduce solar heat gain.
