In this exclusive film produced by Dezeen in collaboration with MATT Construction and Eric Owen Moss Architects describes the design and engineering approach to the recently constructed (W)rapper high-rise office building in Los Angeles.
Named for its structural steel ribbons that support the building, the interior features column-free floor plans and a seismically resilient, base-isolated foundation.
The project originated in 1997, with Eric Owen Moss Architects and long-time owners, Frederick and Laurie Samitaur Smith, changing the zoning in the area to allow for additional height and density.
