Orange Office , in Venice, California, provides office space designed to appeal to creatives.

The design provides a "guerilla" response to the urban context by creating a building intended to become a landmark on Los Angeles' most trafficked street: a surface street lined with used car lots, car washes and smog check stations.

In order to do this, the building is almost a prism - walls that angle to create a chamfer on one end - and which will be skinned in a translucent material that will allow in light but diminish traffic noise. Over this, a scrim of orange fiberglass grating helps diminish solar gain. At night, the building will glow, a bright orange lightbox.

The roof will be planted - a green roof intended to provide respite from the concrete and ashpalt urban context.
