PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Interscope Records is a label based in Santa Monica that operates as one third of Universal Music Group’s Interscope Geffen A&M. Among their impressive roster of talents are artists such as Eminem, Dr Dre, and Lady Gaga.̌

Transitioning from a dark and private office-intensive layout to a more open plan, the 68,000-square-foot headquarters renovation offers the opportunity to create an energetic, collaborative, and music-oriented environment to foster the entrepreneurial spirit of the label. The new space is a showcase for the artists, the history of the brand, and will reflect Interscope’s significance in the music industry.

On each of the three floors, a previous warren of cubicles was gutted to create open workspaces accented by color-blocked walls, casual sitting areas and game rooms. The centerpiece of the renovation is the fourth-floor living room (with a full kitchen and patio/balcony) that hosts meetings, listening sessions and artist performances.
