Former employee of Richard Neutra, Maxwell Starkman designed a studio for his own practice in 1958. Now, 1100 Architect has converted the mid-century structure into a contemporary office for a design and media brand.

In Los Angeles, 1100 Architect has converted a midcentury design studio dating back to 1958 into a contemporary office to house creative design and media company, Brand New School. While the original building by Maxwell Starkman (1921-2003) has been updated and adapted, it maintains its modernist character – it was first a design studio for Starkman himself, then became a lighting showroom, before falling into disrepair.

Starkman was a Canadian architect living in LA, who before setting up his own practice had worked with Richard Neutra – an influence that can be seen in the flat roofs and streamlined steel-framed design of this building, which 1100 Architect has preserved and celebrated. An Angelino may be familiar with Starkman’s Zenith Tower on Wilshire, a 16-storey office tower atop a five-storey building, clad with once bronze metal panels, now painted white renewing attention to the modernist design. Meanwhile, an Angelino may be equally unfamiliar with his weighty, yet unremarkable, Museum of Tolerance on Pico.

For New York- and Frankfurt-based 1100 Architect, founded in 1983, site-specificity is fundamental to each project whether in Manhattan or Mayfair. The team was keen to preserve the light airy and spacious nature of Starkman’s design in Los Angeles too, while creating an office for today.

Essential edits were made for contemporary office life – full-height sound-proof glass partitions define private space for conferences or meetings, not losing sight of the connectivity and light that travels through the space. At the centre of the design, two long desks for communal working and a shared kitchen allow space for collaborative studio work.
