Participant Media
Participant Media, a multi-faceted entertain-
ment production company, chose Wolcott
to design their new signature headquarters
space in Beverly Hills. The company,
producers of the Oscar winning documen-
tary, ‘An Inconvenient Truth’, occupy
18,000 square feet in an Ehrlich designed
LEED certified building.
The carefully planned interiors accommo-
date executive, administrative, production,
and marketing staffs that required the
incorporation of a variety of work styles;
private offices, workstations, benching,
conference rooms, and ah-hoc meeting
spaces. The Wolcott team integrated
supergraphics into the space to express the
firm’s product and energize the environ-
ment.
Acknowledging the LEED base building
construction, the team chose sustainable
materials such as cork, reclaimed lumber,
and rapidly renewable woods to adhere to
Beverly Hills civic guidelines as well as satisfy
client directives.
Entertainment
Colliers international comissioned the
Wolcott team to remodel 32,000 square feet
over two floors of its Downtown Los
Angeles headquarters. Wolcott developed a
transformative plan, which realized corpo-
rate cultural and business objectives. The
team was tasked with simultaneously
accomodating the need for traditional
offices within an open space concept.
The final design resulted in a distinctive
office space that maximizes the impact of
the penthouse view of Los Angeles and
provides a contemporary showplace that
embodies the bold attitude of the client.

A global leader in music rights management,
Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI®) is an American
performing rights organization representing
more than 500,000 songwriters, composers
and music publishers in all genres of music
and a catalog of more than 7.5 million
musical works.
Wolcott provided interior architecture and
graphic design services for the renovation of
BMI’s existing 11,000 square foot offices.
The new design direction featured a modern
aesthetic that highlights BMI’s culture,
writers, artists, and brand.
The new space integrates a lounge / recep-
tion area in the lobby that was designed
around a digital piano. The balance of the
space contains conference room, small
lounge/collaborative areas, kitchen, open
work area, and private offices. Environmen-
tal graphics were used throughout the space
to express the creativity of BMI’s business.
Broadcast Music Inc. (BMI) Entertainment / Media
Animation Studio
Wolcott was selected by a major entertain-
ment company to design a new home for
its growing direct to video animation
division. The team was charged with
converting an old warehouse facility into a
multi-functional production facility that
included employee amenities such as fitness
center, café, and garden areas. The team
met the challenges of adapting the existing
90,000 square foot single-story into an
energizing and functional production
facility.
The new facility not only houses the
administrative and artistic staff but also
story rooms, conference areas, editorial
bays, a recording studio and screening
rooms. The heavily involved client helped
the Wolcott team understand the flow of
production and its requisite needs, while
the designers provided finishes and an
overall aesthetic concept.
The exterior was developed as a campus
with landscaped courtyards and water
features. The interior space is characterized
with punctuated color, graphics, open lid
conference rooms, and numerous lounge
areas.
Entertainment
As a records management leader in the
healthcare industry, CAP Management
Systems (CMS) provides administrative
infrastructure and compliance support to
physicians and hospitals. Wolcott was
engaged by CMS to provide full service
interior and graphic design services. The
22,000 square foot renovation consisted of a
transformative plan that was open, energiz-
ing, and creative.
The design team worked with CMS to create
a space that integrates the corporate brand
and business focus. To reinforce the branded
direction, the WAI team incorporated color
accents in strategic locations to create energy
within the space. Modern elements in
lighting, furniture, and finish selections were
used to emphasize a contemporary feel; one
that moves away from the typical monochro-
matic “healthcare” environment.
In order to highlight the core of their business
- records management services, a main focus
of the design was to showcase CMS’ data
center and IT room. The data center is
positioned as an entry focal point to express
the technological importance of CMS’
business component. Enclosed in glass, the
data center becomes a modern and feature
element of the space.
Cap Management Systems Corporate
RealD, the industry leader in digital stereo-
scopic image projection, called on Wolcott
to design their 32,000 square foot Beverly
Hills headquarters. The client challenged the
team to design a space that reflected their
cutting edge technology, incorporated
dynamic media elements, and boldly
expressed design in 3-dimensions.
The two-floor space includes an intercon-
necting stair that leads from the second floor
collaboration hub known as ‘Times Square’
down to a screening room where the client
showcases their latest technology. The space
was designed with a combination of open
ceiling and finished areas that serve to
define the design and delineate private /
public spaces. The team used a variety of
materials and textures to express the
dimensional aesthetic; wood, glass, metal,
acoustic felt, polished concrete, and a
twisted stainless steel sculpture suspended
over the stair.
A coup for the project was getting an LED
color changing exterior building top sign -
the first in Beverly Hills.
Real D Entertainment / Corporate
When looking to relocate their Chicago
headquarters and consolidate Southern
California operations, Playboy turned to the
Wolcott design team. The iconic global adult
entertainment and lifestyle media company
selected a 38,000 square foot two-story
space in the former Hilton Hotel headquar-
ters building in Beverly Hills.
The design team collaborated with the client
to transform the space into an environment
characterized as a modern translation with a
vintage quality, harkening back to Playboy’s
sexy and sophisticated roots. The space was
accented with numerous pieces of classic
furniture in the common areas, with environ-
mental graphics further reinforcing the rich
history and enhancing the Playboy brand.
A focal point of the interior design is a
curving interconnecting stair rising from the
lobby to the second floor conference and
collaboration areas. The free standing design
is reminiscent of feature stairs in Playboy
Clubs of the 1960’s.
Playboy Entertainment / Corporate
The innovative and highly successful real
estate developer, Caruso Affiliated
Holdings, looked to establish a needed
headquarters facility that exemplified its
image and unique personality. The client
decided to locate the offices in 35,000
square feet at its flagship retail property,
The Grove in Los Angeles.
Wolcott’s team created an impressive plan
that reflected the company’s image of
sophistication and status. The traditional
style included details such as coffered
ceilings, rich wood details, and bold scale.
The overall plan has a residential and
hospitality aesthetic, which helps introduce
comfort and manageability to the expansive
floor plates.

Building on an existing relationship with
DirecTV, the broadcast satellite provider
headquartered in El Segundo, CA, Wolcott
was engaged to design their new West
Virginia Call Center. The 90,000 square foot
facility houses some 500 employees and
handles DirecTV’s mid-Atlantic operations.
The building infrastructure was completely
upgraded to satisfy the power and air
conditioning requirements. The WAI team
tackled the formidable challenge of the large
floor plate by designing the space to incorpo-
rate a regional theme keying on elements of
the rural landscape.
The project incorporates an ample amount of
glass in the lobby to increase visibility at the
entrance as well as creating a connection
between interior and exterior space. The
reception area also includes monitors to
showcase content. Graphics continue through
the space to reinforce the brand.
Furthering the landscape aesthetic, the rich
color palette of greens and blues echo the
areas rivers and mountains, although intensi-
fied to neon hues that energize the overall
environment. Neutral browns and blacks
representing the coal and rock formations
were used in higher traffic areas.
DirecTV Technology
The Recording Academy is to the Grammy’s
what the Motion Picture Academy is to the
Oscars. This distinguished organization
realized a move was necessary in order to
accomplish expansion plans related to their
strategic vision.
Wolcott was commissioned to design the
interiors of the new 3-story, 66,000 square
foot space in the Lantana East Develop-
ment. Strategic goals and objectives for the
organization influenced the plan and
directed the design to reflect the history
and tenure of the organization as well as
acknowledging the future of new media.
The office features a 2-story lobby with a
water wall element and an integrated
display chronicling the history of recording.
The LEED Gold facility accommodates
executive and administrative offices,
enveloped in an aesthetic infused with
iconic images that pay tribute to the
recording industry.

Located just down-slope from the imposing
Getty Center in Brentwood, Wolcott’s design
team dramatically transformed a former
Holiday Inn into a visually distinctive high-
end boutique hospitality property.
The new identity that was established for the
Angelino was enhanced by convincing the
client to gut 8,000 square feet of the hotel’s
ground floor. In the newly opened area,
Wolcott designers created spaces for a large
open lobby, a cafe/bar, a plug-and-play
office for guests, an entry to the pool, and a
reconfigured main entry from the porte-
cochere.
To ensure efficient project management
under a tight budget and schedule, Wolcott
carefully coordinated the contributions of
multiple consultants combining meeting with
progress tracking that provided a catalyst for
strong communication, and ultimately a
successful project.

Karl Storz Endoscopy selected Wolcott to
design the interiors for their new North
American headquarters. The 95,000 square
foot, 3-floor space contains executive
offices, conferencing, administrative and
sales functions and includes a mock
operatory to showcase their medical
equipment and its functions.
The German based firm influenced the
design to be functional with elements that
integrated the legacy and legitimacy of the
firm. The Wolcott team designed a monu-
mental glass stair that features an image
based history of the company through the
use of applied graphics, developed by
Wolcott’s in-house graphic design group -
SKN Creative.
The infusion of this graphic history serves to
instill employee loyalty and organizational
pride as well as provide talking points for
visitors and potential end users of the
medical devices.

Live Nation Entertainment
Anchoring the west end of the Hollywood
redevelopment area, home to the Hollywood
and Highland retail complex and home of
the Academy Awards, Live Nation chose to
occupy a signature tower at 7060 Holly-
wood Boulevard. The former medical office
building was given a complete ‘facelift’.
The fully demolished floors were redesigned
by the WAI team to maximize views of the
Hollywood Hills to the north and LA city to
the south. The extensive use of glass fronts
on the offices serves to maximize natural
light. The design team incorporated
graphics to express the client’s business and
energize the rather contemporary aesthetic.
Film was applied to the glass office fronts for
semi-privacy; the image being a bar code
that spells ‘Live Nation’.
Careful planning with consultants helped
organize the mechanical systems and
maintain openness within the limited 10’-6’’
ceiling height.
Entertainment
Koi
Located at the heart of the Las Vegas Strip,
Wolcott & Koi Design Group transformed
an old restaurant into an exotic and spiritual
dining destination in the newly opened
Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. The
10,000 square foot Japanese restaurant
beckons diners with a signature entrance of
See-Hear-Speak no evil Buddhas.
The lounge is surrounded by a forest of
orchids and Tibetan prayer wheels. The
significant design challenge was to create
an open pre-dining environment that would
transform into a private VIP Ultra Lounge
for afterhours events. The themed design
continues to the main dining room with a
mixture of free standing tables, sushi-bar
seating, and private booths.
The premier dining experience is in the
Fountain Lounge with 14 tables offering
unobstructed views of the Bellagio
fountains. As each area offers a unique
experience, the fish-net ceilings cover the
space bringing the Asian design out onto
the Las Vegas street.
Restaurant / Retail
Renowned executive placement firm, Korn
Ferry International, partnered with Wolcott
to create a comprehensive environment for
their new 40,000 square foot headquarters
in Los Angeles.
Using the urban high-rise views as a focus,
Wolcott’s design team organized the
reception and conference area to formally
address the window line. Utilizing a
palette of subtle but elegant materials and
finished Wolcott was able to deliver a
sophisticated contemporary style with a
dramatic scale reflective of the firm’s high
level business clients.

LA Center Studios is an ambitious undertak-
ing that attracts film production companies
and their related support service businesses
to downtown Los Angeles. Rather than
locate in the one of the Westside or Burbank
media districts, LA Center Studios decided to
develop a production complex using the
former Unocal headquarters as the center
piece.
Wolcott focused their efforts on the base
building and public areas that would be used
to attract the discerning creative business
entities. When Film LA Inc. needed a modern
and edgy build-out of the 20,000 square feet
of raw space for its headquarters in the LA
Center Studios complex, they selected the
Wolcott team to realize their design vision.
The unique rhombus shaped space served as
an inspiration to Wolcott’s designers, who
created an innovative plan that expressed Film
LA’s personality. Within a modest budget,
Wolcott found unique solutions through the
use of the saw-tooth wall line, glass, open
black-painted ceilings, polished concrete
floors and bright colors, along with custom
millwork and furniture.
LA Center Studios Entertainment
‘Employee First’ was the mantra guiding the
design for the headquarters of LegalZoom,
a web based legal services provider. The
Wolcott team re-envisioned two-floors of
an existing space to create a completely
open plan, recapturing formerly private
spaces for collaboration areas and a large
company lounge with stunning views of the
San Gabriel Mountains.
The space is infused with vibrant color to
reflect the client’s zest for business,
combined with finish selections that
emphasize sustainability, longevity and
simplicity. The design was also guided by
feng shui principles for plan orientation and
architectural massing. As a result, walls and
ceilings were rounded or split to avoid
‘dead’ corners to enhance energy flow and
celebrate the functional components of the
base building.
The incorporation of an interconnecting
stair provides a draw for the employees and
further reinforces the equal importance of
the individual floors.

The Bank of New York Mellon
For Mellon Bank, the Wolcott designers
needed to find a way to create a simple
contemporary design for Mellon’s 27th
floor office space within a fairly limited
budget.
Wolcott accomplished this by using the
richest materials in the more public spaces,
namely the reception area and conference
room.
Ceiling elements and crisp finishes create an
inviting and impressive space that is innately
fuctional while also maximizing the impact
of the Downtown view. Cost effective
materials were used in the back of house
areas, but with visionary application, the
design team achieved a consistent aesthetic
throughout the space.
Professional Services
Pancreatic Cancer Action Network
Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCan)
enlisted the services of Wolcott to design
their new Los Angeles office space. The
national non-profit envisioned a space that
incorporated transparency while exhibiting
sustainability and longevity, which are
guiding principles for the organization. An
inspiring wall of light and graphics immedi-
ately greet a visitor with the mission
statement etched onto glass panels.
The reception areas quickly dissolves into a
series of common areas called “Main Street’
that includes meeting rooms, a Shop Purple
store and a multi-purpose training room.
Super graphics were used for way-finding,
identification and inspiration.
Views and natural light were incorporated
into the design through the use of glass at
the perimeter offices to activate the interior.
The ceilings were left open to represent
functionality and a thing of beauty not to
be covered up.
Corporate
Sundance Institute, founded in 1981,
incubated, developed and grew into a
legitimate and respected organization. As the
institute expanded and matured, it was able
to better define its mission and culture, which
was not reflected in the existing space. The
new design objective was to consolidate onto
one floor, and provide an open and collabora-
tive plan rather than express the typical
entertainment model.
The new 14,000 square foot space supported
an open and transparent design aesthetic that
maximized day lighting and views. As an
internationally recognized nonprofit organiza-
tion working with independent artists, it was
important to design a space that reflected
their mission “to discover and develop
independent artists and audiences across the
globe.”
The space was developed with a simplified a
traditional style, that also reflects the
aesthetic of an energizing and creative
environment. This goal was further translated
through graphics of inspirational quotes and
imagery throughout the space.
Sundance Institute Entertainment
Wolcott was selected to develop an innova-
tive and creative environment for the offices
of Principato Young Entertainment (PYE). A
cutting-edge comedy talent production
entity, PYE is known for delivering TV, film
and other media productions representative
of comedy’s next generation. WAI was
committed to delivering the same level of
cutting-edge design for the new space.
The WAI team collaborated with the client to
design a space that was organic and had a
curvilinear flow to take advantage of and
respond to existing building architecture.
Working with PYE, the selected color pallete
and finish patterning was derivative of a
design aesthetic that reflected mid-century
eclecticism. The eclecticism was further
reinforced by the integration of contrast in
finish textures of various woods, stains,
furniture, and artwork.
The patterning in the carpet for the main
conference rooms was inspired by the
vintage movie “Houses in Hollywood.” Glass
was incorporated into the design to promote
an “active” office, increase transparency and
openness to encourage collaboration.
Principato Young Entertainment Corporate
One of LA’s oldest companies, Vulcan
Materials, selected Wolcott to design their
new headquarters space at 500 N. Brand in
Glendale. The new 2-floor space contains the
firm’s executive offices, largely open plan
work areas, and a training facility. The design
team was inspired by the chance to realize
the new vision for a company steeped in Los
Angeles history. Starting with a rather neutral
palette that is reminiscent of the aggregates
the firm provides for building materials, the
team accented the space with imagery of
iconic Los Angeles projects.
A history wall informs employees and visitors
along a major corridor, a section of the
Hollywood Bowl graces a wall in 5th floor
reception, while the ‘LAX theme building’
dominates the employee lunch room. Actual
‘Vulcan Materials’ such as tiered concrete
panels, were used in the reception area,
aggregate was ‘faux’ embed in a hallway
floor, and the existing concrete floor was
sealed.
Vulcan Materials Corporate
Wolcott created a comfortable and functional
office environment for REELZ, a Los Angeles
based cable television network. Working
within an ambitious 12 week schedule and a
limited budget, the Wolcott team proved that
they could rapidly deliver a cost effective and
engaging environment.
Particularly challenging was simultaneously
completing not only office space but a full
video production facility. The inventive use of
color and finishes complemented the distinct
architecture of the building to establish a
relaxed, playful feeling that inspires creativity
to the employees who often work long hours.
A cafe counter was centrally positioned to
encourage impromptu gatherings for brain-
storming, and the iconic use of the company’s
logo in the elevator lobby established the
young company’s branding for anyone
entering the space.

Toni & Guy
Dallas based Toni & Guy Hairdressing
Academy, chose the Wolcott design team
to realize their vision for the company’s
west coast flagship hair academy. The
10,000 square foot store front in Santa
Monica was developed to emphasize the
power of their brand with a strong street
presence.
The interiors were designed to provide an
open, inviting and modern aesthetic. A
minimalist and somewhat austere palette
was felt to best accommodate the client
whose business continues to evolve both
commercially and artistically.
The salon space includes a retail component
as well as three classrooms that can be
combined for large seminars and public use.
The design team successfully designed the
space to not only achieve but reinforce the
client’s ‘catwalk-to-client’ philosophy.
Retail
Wolcott embraced the opportunity to
transform a locally unique space to accommo-
date the design studio and workshop facilities
for the automotive design teams of VW/Audi.
As the former Museum of Flying, the 50,000
square foot building provided opportunities
for a truly innovative and creative space.
Wolcott capitalized on the building’s distinct
structural characteristics: exposed steel
structure, existing three story atrium, ample
ceiling height, and a clerestory. After incorpo-
rating a building expansion, Wolcott
positioned the modeling facility on the
ground floor and used former hangar areas to
accommodate the various craft shops.
The second floor houses the designer work-
stations, the graphics rooms, as well as the
color and print departments. Public areas and
administrative rooms were placed on the third
floor including the main Conference Center
as well as team break areas and an employee
kitchen/pantry overlooking the two story
space.
VW / Audi Design Studios Technology
International Cinematographers Guild (ICG)
Wolcott transformed a utilitarian radio
station structure with no distinct design
profile into a bold architectural statement
that reflects the creative posture of its
client, the International Cinematographers
Guild (ICG).
The 14,000 square foot project included a
an extensive interior upgrade and exterior
renovations resulting in a significant
redesign. Innovative interior and exterior
lighting gives the building an array of
dramatic looks through day and night.
The design established a contemporary
identity for the building, and its client, by
introducing new materials, textures and
palette colors to the area. The new facility
energizes the tenant space and the
streetscape. Subsequently, neighboring
buildings along Sunset Boulvard have been
undergoing renovation, clearly following
the vision initiated by the ICG architecture.
Entertainment / Media
Watt Plaza
Commercial real estate developer Watt
Properties’ twin tower Watt Plaza in
Century City was originally completed in
1982. Motivated by the A-List entertain-
ment and financial services clientele moving
into neighboring buildings, Watt sought to
create an updated identity by rethinking the
building’s common areas, most notably the
lobby.
Wolcott implemented a striking new design
approach that provided Watt Plaza’s tenants
an identifiable and inviting entry with an
activated exterior plaza. Together, these
architectural design elements provided a
connection to communicate a modern
attitude and upgraded status.
The arrival sequence was also enhanced
with new parking structure graphics and
architectural modifications to the elevator
areas. The successful design aesthetic
received BOMA’s prestigious TOBY Award.
Developer / Real Estate
American Society of Cinematographers
The American Society of Cinematographers
(ASC) has called a century-old Mission-Style
California Bungalow its Hollywood home
base for 70 of its 90 years.
The exterior of the Clubhouse – as it is
known to members – retained its gracious
early twentieth century veranda and inviting
front door. The interiors, however, had
started to show well-worn signs of age. In
this context, the ASC came to Wolcott
Architecture | Interiors (WAI) to realizing its
vision and restore this grande dame of a
structure to its former grandeur.
While only a few grainy black-and-white
photos bear witness to the Clubhouse’s
glory days, conversations with long-time
members and archival research supplied the
Wolcott team the information necessary to
create a tasteful, balanced, and respectful
interpretation for reconstruction of this
historic home.
Entertainment/Media
The high-tech supplier WebSense (formerly
Phasemetrics) turned to Wolcott to imple-
ment an expansion plan to accommodate
ambitious employee growth from 40 to
800. The expansion involved multi-location
facilities that included a total of 300,000
square feet of administrative space, R&D
laboratories and manufacturing both in San
Diego and Fremont, California.
For the new headquarters' exterior, Wolcott
envisioned dynamic rectilinear elements that
combine to create an energetic contempo-
rary structure. The existing simple box-like
structure was opened, punctuated, and
articulated to accommodate an impressive
new lobby.
An employee cafeteria with an outdoor
patio was added to maximize exterior views
and natural light. Dramatic lighting empha-
sizes the architecture in the evening hours.
TechnologyWebSense (formerly Phasemetrics)
West Hills Corporate Pointe
The original food service facility on the
Corporate Pointe campus was found to be
under-utilized, uninviting and inefficient.
The developer engaged Wolcott to
completely re-envision the facility. The once
non-descript concrete structure was
transformed into a virtual jewel box by the
WAI design team.
The owner preferred to maintain the basic
footprint to minimize entitlement issues and
expedite the renovation process. The WAI
team took a blank slate approach that
began with visioning. Once a new program
was approved, the design evolved to
include a new space plan with architectural
modifications that realigned the entrance
and enhanced resort-like outdoor dining.
The completed 12,000 square foot LEED
Gold Certified building now serves as a
focal point, anchoring the business park
and retail center as well as serving to cater
special functions and support the adjacent
auditorium.
