Renovation and rehabilitation of a 1941 Hollywood Puppet Theater for Chief’s flagship Club House in Los Angeles. The Project includes two bars, outdoor patio, five conference rooms, lounges, and workspaces.

Chief was founded to drive women forward into positions of power — and keep them there. The opening of Chief’s first West Coast presence brought the opportunity to define what this mission would mean spatially in Los Angeles. The space reinterprets traditional club environments to support the organization's mission and programming. Located in a classic Los Angeles 1941 theater, the design conserved the original building elements that best conveyed the historic setting, and then dovetailed them to an enfilade of communal and enclosed zones suited for focused work and interaction.
