Landmark Square
Long Beach, California
Project Size: 455,000 sf, office
Construction Cost: $50,000,000
This is the winning design resulting from a national competition Long
Beach, California sponsored by the Long Beach Redevelopment Agency. The
24-story slab tower is designed orthogonally with the long axis perpendicular
to the ocean to preserve views. The diagonal "pleats" gesture
to the 45° orientation of the nearby City Hall 24,000 sf retail building.
The tower and garage are clad in a variety of four quarried stones, in
both flamed and polished finishes. Parking is contained in four levels
below and five levels above the street, with street-level retail edging
the base on three sides.
