5670 Wilshire Boulevard is an iconic 27-story tower in the historic Miracle Mile district of Los Angeles. The 45,000-square-meter building in Central L.A. was built in 1962 as office space for the California Federal Bank, commanding attention as one of the tallest buildings on the Westside, with visibility across the city.
Rapt Studio capitalized on the opportunity to reimagine the exterior, ground floor, and subterranean spaces to bring a sense of community and shared experience to the building’s occupants.
They were enlisted by property owner, Rockpoint Group, and affiliated property manager, Rockhill Management, to design thoughtful, best-in-class amenities to promote wellness and productivity for today's tenants, with a cohesive aesthetic to complement the thoughtful upgrades that Rockhill had already implemented to the common areas and individual office spaces in the floors above.
Tenants can now work out or unwind in the new fitness center, which features a yoga/boxing studio and private shower rooms. They can schedule their meetings in a modernized, reconfigurable conference center and even showcase their work in a professional-grade theater. The exterior courtyard has been refreshed to offer flexible semi-private spaces for tenants to gather, meet, work, or book events.
Importantly, the upgrades were made with sustainability in mind. The building is LEED certified, and the adjacent parking garage offers EV charging stations and a car share program.
While it used to be enough for a commercial building to offer city views and a parking garage, discerning tenants now want more. This new program offers an appealing, functional array of amenities to meet the evolving needs of today’s tenants.
Located along Miracle Mile’s famed “Museum Row,” the building also features a remarkable arts program and draws inspiration from the neighborhood’s clashing grid system, reflecting the intersection’s shape with a unique rhombus form. Landscape and flooring designs follow suit. Other notable design upgrades include scalloped marble walls, fluted custom wood, sculptural light fixtures, and dedicated spaces that promote an indoor/outdoor connection.
