Volcom Offices – Costa Mesa
LPA has designed the new offices of lifestyle brand Volcom located in Costa Mesa, California.
Volcom brand for inspiration, the space takes on a hand crafted, almost bohemian aesthetic incorporating simple, utilitarian materials, used in an extraordinary way. Raw wood, fiberglass, metal and fabric define and reinforce the Volcom image. A 3,500 SF indoor skate park has the ability to be converted into a presentation theater or exhibition space. A 4,000 SF company store, expansive showrooms and a sample warehouse work with the skate park to anchor the newly envisioned facility. The centerpiece of the design is an internal Volcom “street” feature allowing for simplified internal circulation and organization, with unique branding opportunities. The “street” incorporates art and images borrowed from the Volcom retail stores, staff artists and the products. Daylight is harvested through the incorporation of new skylights and the restoration of existing skylights throughout the space.
The work environments feature natural and color corrected indirect lighting, uniquely designed collaborative spaces, specialty lounge and break out areas and product and brand display opportunities throughout. The furnishings remain a somewhat eclectic combination of pre-owned, vintage, new and custom elements combined to exemplify the Volcom attitude and strengthen their unique work ethic.
