3333 & 3407 Casitas Atwater Village Adaptive Reuse

3333 & 3407 Casitas Atwater Village Adaptive Reuse

Creatives deserve a creative workspace and environment, and what inspires the mind more than taking something old and breathing new life into it? 3333 & 3407 Casitas is a community set on a creative-oriented media campus. The project site consists of two parcels bisected through the center by the dead-end street Tyburn, which was converted into parking space. The project provides new research, development and additional commerce to the area. 3407 Casitas in the Northern Campus features a new, two-story, mezzanine office complex building of Type VB construction. Miyamoto’s structural design consists of uniquely shaped tilt-up concrete panel walls that encase the building, buckling-restrained braced frames in the interior for additional seismic resistance, concrete-filled, metal-deck floors and a light wood-framed roof with solar panels. We used finite element modeling to design this building according to the site’s footing size restrictions. 3333 Casitas is the adaptive reuse of 10 existing buildings. All the buildings are single-story except for Building 8, which includes a mezzanine expansion. We used our expertise in existing wood frame construction to develop a structural system that is composed entirely of light frame construction, incorporating sawn lumber framing in the roof and wall systems. The adaptive component of this project involved maintaining the industrial style of the building’s existing shell.
