Centrally located in the MacArthur Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, Commune’s new studio resides in a historic 1924 Spanish Colonial building. Designing our first new studio in over a decade provided an incredible opportunity to reimagine our environment to best facilitate our workflow and is designed with a focus on function and process in every detail. The Studio features a limited palette of hardwearing surfaces such oak floors, Douglas fir millwork and canvas pinup walls. The entrance area is hung with Commune designed mailers and posters from over the years as well as a large original painting by artist A. Kori Girard done specifically for Commune. Other artisans and Commune collaborators are throughout the studio, including hand sewn drapery by Adam Pogue, Commune-designed lighting by Remains, a large custom rug by Christopher Farr, and a custom claro walnut daybed with pillows in Commune designed fabrics. The bathrooms and kitchen feature tile designed for Exquisite Surfaces… and a focal point at the far end of the studio is a round stained glass window that was created by Steve Halterman for Commune’s previous office and relocated to this new space. Programming of the studio was critical to its success. Reception includes a guest bathroom, wet bar and serving area, and access to two fully equipped conference rooms. The main studio space features floor to ceiling materials library, breakout meeting tables, and consecutive rows of workstations keeping rhythm with the windows on the east side of the building. Offices for the partners and smaller conference rooms flank the west side, illuminated with skylights and are able to be made private with sliding shoji-inspired canvas pinup screens. Additional storage features include a vast book and periodicals library and overhead cubbies for our growing shop inventory while a fully equipped kitchen enables easy meals for both our clients and our team.

Sphera have recently completed the lighting design and supply for the stunning new and exciting breathable apartments display suite in Fitzroy. An intelligent approach to apartment living, this project offers a sense of community alongside a place for sanctuary and retreat. Highlighting this incredible space throughout is the Black Binario Track Light with its simple yet minimalist design and its recessed powerful LED light source. As you stand and admire the beautiful American Oak detailing and granite kitchen you will find the concealed and very uniform Sphera Nastro LED strip hidden within the overheads. Turn the corner, and low and behold our very popular Aplik fitting by Sphera. Installed vertically the Aplik provides a warm indirect light affect that minimises glare. Breathable display suite has no doubt been enhanced by the use of Sphera lighting. Products: Binario Track Light | Nastro LED Strip | Aplik Wall Light
