The project called Second Century Burbank, which celebrates the 200 years of Warner Bros., juxtaposes two different facade styles. The elevations facing the 134 Freeway seek to attract the attention of drivers with its curtain walls built with angled glass planes and white ceramic frit, the fractured geometries evoking icebergs. The design of the movement and rhythm took into account how they would be perceived from a car in motion.

As a counterpoint, the complex of offices for Warner Bros. and other potential tenants presents a decomposition of smaller-scale elements descending tp the eixsting studio lot. Here the stainless steel facades with large openings give an industrial feel. The setbacks result in a stepped silhouette, forming terraces filled with vegetation. Large open spaces with floor-to-ceiling glazed facades define the collaborative workspaces, while elevations with more traditional windows were used for the closed offices of executives.
