55 levels of excellence…

The Vespertine building in Culver City, designed by Eric Owen Moss, is a designer and architect lovers dream! It features a 55 foot tower that has four levels within a two-story structure. 

vogue shares that Kahn, a Savannah, Georgia, native, first caught sight of 3599 Hayden Avenue in 2013 while avoiding traffic in Los Angeles’s Culver City. “I saw this crazy structure and I pulled over, and I was really kind of struck by it in a way that I had never been affected by architecture before,” the chef explains. He immediately became obsessed with the then unfinished, slumped, twisted tower built from steel and glass. Kahn later learned that visionary Los Angeles–based architect Eric Owen Moss, responsible for more than 40 projects in Culver City’s Hayden Tract area including office buildings Pterodactyl and (W)rapper, had masterminded the four-floor building’s aesthetic and pioneering design. What would later become Vespertine is an entirely wall-less structure held together with four independent columns, the look of which was based on a stack of papers Moss once had on his desk that someone accidentally knocked into, causing the papers to shift into a unique shape. Thank you again husbae ba_baracus22 for the best birthday kick off 🫶🏾💋😘
