NeueHouse是DesignAgency事务所为洛杉矶市中心地标——布拉德伯里大厦（Bradbury Building ）内部设计的全新私人办公空间，以迎接高效创意公司，精英以及企业家。项目迎合了现代创意工作者的需求，并以其远超传统办公室的便利设施，营造了一个精致且舒适的工作氛围。项目面积2,5000平方英尺（约2322平方米），占据了大厦整个三层空间。NeueHouse涵盖了公共区域，全天营业的咖啡与酒吧，公共画廊，工作区，健身房，会议室，以及一些专门为企业服务的即时辅助工作室。
NeueHouse, an elevated private workspace for high-performance creative companies, leaders, and entrepreneurs, commissioned DesignAgency to craft the interiors for their newest location in downtown LA’s iconic Bradbury Building. Catering to the modern creative workforce, NeueHouse Bradbury is a sophisticated and comfortable work environment with amenities that go beyond anything seen in a conventional office. Occupying the entire second floor, the 25,000 s.f. “house” includes common areas with a morning-to-night café/bar, a communal gallery and atelier workspace, a wellness room, meeting rooms, and several plug and play studios for dedicated businesses.

洛杉矶市中心的布拉德伯里大厦（Bradbury Building ），于1893年由建筑师萨姆纳·亨特（Sumner Hunt）设计建造，包括了五个商业办公楼层。这座国家历史地标建筑，以其非常规的建筑风格而备受瞩目。大厦外立面由朴素的棕色砖与赤陶罗马式门面组成。建筑内部配置有华丽的鸟笼式电梯，铁艺饰物，宏伟的意大利大理石楼梯以及一个高达50英尺（约15米）的阳光明媚的中庭。设计的核心理念旨在，在这个标志性的维多利亚式建筑内部，营造一个柔和，通风，华丽且优雅的室内空间，以迎合建筑悠久的历史。最终，DesignAgency事务所成功地为当代创意人提供了一个独特且优雅的现代工作空间。
Constructed by junior draftsman George Wyman in 1893 from the original design by architect Sumner Hunt, the Bradbury Building comprises five stories of commercial office space in downtown LA. A National Historic Landmark beloved for its unconventional mix of architectural styles, the building is characterized by a modest brown brick and terra cotta Romanesque facade. Inside, ornate birdcage elevators, decorative ironwork and grand Italian marble staircases command a soaring 50-ft high, sky-lit atrium. Celebrating this lofty Victorian icon was a priority for DesignAgency, who infused the interior with soft, airy and graceful flourishes as a counterpoint to its historic architecture. The result is a uniquely modern and elegant workspace suited to the contemporary creative professional.

多功能的公共区域可以满足各种功能需求。例如，DesignAgency在现有的三层夹层周围创建了四个多用途休息区，在俯瞰中庭的同时，为艺术展览或系列讲座等活动提供了场地。人们亦可在这里进行一些非正式的会议活动。
Versatile common areas accommodate a range of programming needs. For example, DesignAgency created four multi-purpose lounge areas positioned around the existing second-floor mezzanine which overlooks the atrium to allow for events such as art shows or lecture series, as well as casual and break-out meetings.

舒适的现场咖啡/酒吧，在白天为人们提供咖啡，晚上则是鸡尾酒。酒吧的环境通风开敞，吧台由意大利轻质大理石台面，拱形的蜂蜜橡木和深色胡桃木制的酒柜以及黄铜细部组成。吧台前的大理石长桌，与圆形的红宝石色高脚凳以及温暖的Lee Broom球形吊灯一起打造出宜人的休闲氛围，使其成为人们进行休闲会议或合作的理想场所。
The snug onsite café/bar serves coffee in the morning and cocktails at night. Here, a light marble bar, quarried from Italy, is paired with curved honey oak and dark walnut architectural millwork and brass detailing, grounding the airy surroundings. Rounded ruby-colored bar stools provide comfortable seating under warm globe pendant lanterns by Lee Broom, while a nearby central console table is the ideal spot for casual meetings or collaborative work.

NeueHouse的室内设计简洁而平和，在视觉上，对应了建筑丰富的历史细节与风格大胆的门厅。建筑原有的11英尺（约3.3米）高的橡木框窗，裸露的木质天花板，以及砖制壁炉，与现代风格的内饰一起为室内渲染出柔和的色调。精致的凡尔赛拼花地板，亚麻布艺窗帘，以及曲线家具均由著名的爱尔兰制造商Orior专门定制而成。室内的艺术装置，由一个专家委员会专门策展，并定期轮换。其中，还包括一张永久收藏的《银翼杀手》(Blade Runner)的剧照。该照片由已故的伟大摄影师斯蒂芬·沃恩(Stephen Vaughan)于1981年拍摄。
In response to the rich visual history and the bold character of the building’s foyer, NeueHouse Bradbury’s interiors are simple and calming. Characterful original details such as the 11’ high oak framed windows, the exposed wood ceiling joists, and original brick fireplaces integrate naturally with the modern interiors rendered in pastel palettes with delicate Versailles parquet floors, breezy linen drapery, and curvilinear furniture custom-fabricated by famed Irish manufacturer, Orior. Art installations, curated by an expert committee, rotate on a regular basis, and the interior also includes a permanent collection of photographs from the filming of Blade Runner, shot in 1981 by the late great still photographer Stephen Vaughan.
