Rosecrans is a substantial adaptive reuse project that sought to breathe new life into a nondescript 85,000sf two-story concrete building in El Segundo from the 1960s. The original building lacked a sense of entry point, natural light, and communal spaces. Our mission was clear: transform Rosecrans into a beacon of well-being and connection.
