Paul Hastings in San Diego is an early 9Wood project featuring Curved Trim with the 1114-6 Cross Piece Grille. Notice how the wood ceiling follows the contour of the curved walls, these perimeter conditions are capped with a custom curved trim made and delivered by 9Wood.

The architect for the 2008 remodel of Paul Hastings’ San Diego office was AECOM, formerly DMJM H&N, with DMJM Rottet Interior Architecture playing a key role in the interior architecture for the project. The remodel project was characterized by a contemporary modernist architectural style, emphasizing clean lines, open spatial volumes, and high-end finishes. The design, led by AECOM/DMJM Rottet Interior Architecture and Lauren Rottet, integrated advanced workplace concepts such as sculpted space, minimal ornamentation, and the strategic use of light to create the illusion of larger volumes

• Utilization of planes, angles, and forms to create open, airy work environments rather than cellular offices, a hallmark of modernist office design.

• High-end materials such as etched glass, wood accents, and stone were used in a restrained, sophisticated palette, achieving a balance between hospitality and business environments.

• Interior design aimed for a “hotel meeting room” experience, featuring dramatic glass walls, rhythmic wood grilles from 9Wood, and inviting lounge spaces, setting a contemporary tone for law firm interiors.

The new Administration Building for San Diego International Airport began in late 2021. The project scope includes construction of a new four-story, 130,000-square-foot building and relocation of the Airport Authority administrative offices, Authority board room, the Airport Operations Center, and the Emergency Operations Center.
The wood ceilings not only brought warmth and biophilic design trends to the common areas but helped this building achieve LEED Gold certification.

With Perkins+Will as the architect and McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. as the general contractor, this $185M project is a cast-in-place concrete, four-story building over basement space, providing a flexible and collaborative environment.

The wood ceilings at Franklin Antonio Hall bring balance and nature back to the equation.
