Clive Wilkinson Architects

MAGUIRE PROPERTIES, LOS ANGELES

Clive Wilkinson Architects, Maguire Properties, Los AngelesSet foot in the 14,400-square-foot headquarters of this real-estate developer, and it's clear that something's up: the surf. Surfboard-shape tables are a trademark of Interior Design Hall of Fame member Clive Wilkinson, while the sea of white drywall forms was conceived with surfing enthusiast Robert Maguire specifically in mind. “The curves express the extreme motion of water,” Wilkinson says of the forms, which began as full-scale CNC-milled foam mock-ups. Finished versions cluster around the two conference rooms—enclosed by glass in shades of bottle green and aquamarine—then reappear as workstation dividers. Underfoot, poured marble-aggregate flooring recalls a raked beach, even if employees can't feel it between their toes.
