Deegan-Day Design Studio
Los Angeles, CA2006
Deegan-Day Design now occupies a 1937 garage, operational for almost seventy years before a restoration and repurposing of the building in 2005. The original structure is a 60ft x 30ft x 15ft volume bounded on three sides by 12in thick poured concrete walls spanned by 3in deep timber-frame trusses. Private spaces in the new studio are clustered to the north, where a bathroom, kitchenette, and archives support major HVAC and storage spaces above.
A conference space and long pin-up wall extend from that cluster, while work areas are defined by a 50ft long switchback surface of desk space. The 42ft x 11ft front opening of the garage required a trio of new sliding doors from a hangar door fabricator in Riverside.
