The office encompasses two floors of the Colorado Center in Santa Monica, and features an open-floor plan for 500 employees with an inter-connecting open stair and an exterior courtyard gathering space. Design features include a reception desk underneath two rotating Corvettes, a slide for easy access from second to first floor, conference and meeting rooms at multiple sizes for small and large gatherings and custom fish-tanks that include scale models of Southern California landmarks
A slide connects the two floors.
Two Corvettes rotate over the stainless reception desk.
