Warehouse No. 1, a landmark waterfront building built in 1917 and located at the Port of Los Angeles, is a six-story-plus-basement, 500,000-SF reinforced concrete structure. The primary goal of the renovation was to create a new usable space with an occupancy and functionality other than the then current heavy storage use. A scheme was developed to increase floor to floor heights and provide internal atriums while preserving prominent historic features. This allowed natural light into the building, converting a compact storage structure into a comfortable office or museum environment. Special consideration was taken for the foundations, which consisted of driven piles—a solution to pressure grout. The loosely compacted man-made fill under the structure was proposed. Miyamoto provided a conceptual cost estimate and proposed structural modifications and foundation improvements to the client so they could make a cost-effective decision regarding their property.
