Largo Begins Design on the Sony Studios, Culver Parking Structures & Expansion
Largo Concrete was recently awarded the Design-Build Parking Structure Expansion Project at Sony Studios in Culver City, CA. Located off Culver Blvd. the project includes two 6-level structures built on either side of the existing 5-level which will also receive an additional level of parking to match the two new adjacent structures. The entire project is 421,900sf with a total stall count of 1,357: 373-stalls in the East structure, 899-stalls in the West and 85 on the added level.
Our design team includes IDG Parkitects as Architect of Record and Ficcadenti Waggoner & Castle is the Structural Engineer. With construction scheduled to commence in August of this year, the design team is working out the final details of the structure with the Construction Manager, CW Driver and Sony Studios. The structures will be built consecutively, East then West, in order to keep the studio’s overall parking availability.
The existing structure utilizes a Shear Wall Structural System while both expansion structures will utilize a moment frame design. This is done to open up the structure to more natural light and ventilation and to provide a safer, light and bright pedestrian experience. The structure will be secured with metal screens around all openings on the ground floor and parking control equipment. The Art-Deco façade of the existing will be continued through the expansion structures and a basketball court will be installed on the roof deck of the east structure.
