CarrAmerica Realty Corporation – La Jolla Commons at UTC

Occasionally design excellence extends beyond the architecture itself. Here the site owner was struggling with zoning requirements that restricted development to 30,000 square feet. After careful research we proposed a code interpretation that would increase this limit by 15,000 square feet. The resulting project is a three-story shell building designed for life science, advanced technology, and corporate headquarters offices. A two-story curved stone wall defines the entrance, while oversized mullions create a strong, eccentric pattern and deep shadows on the exterior facade. A pallet of soft earth tones serves as the ground for the bold facade design.
