Inspiration comes from the past, present and future of the neighborhood we’re working in. Especially when working on adaptive-reuse projects, we like to say that our design goals come from the inside out. We listen to what the building wants to be.
Our low-ego approach helps us focus on the true priorities and larger goals of each effort. We’re then able to envision something authentic, as if the project had always been there.
Our Story
We’ve grown steadily since our founding in 2009. Omgivning now occupies an entire floor in an old tower downtown, where the Fashion District meets the Historic Core. We’re headquartered in DTLA, but our passion extends to transformations all over.
Our architecture and interior design staff has touched almost 350 projects, from small local cafes to a two-million square foot historic landmark. We’re in love with the beauty of old high-rises, warehouses, theaters, department stores and plenty else. From these, we create programmatically rich hotels, multi-family housing, restaurants, bars, creative offices and more, plus custom furniture for many projects.
