About
Covering an entire block of downtown Los Angeles , the Caltrans District 7 Headquarters was the first building in California to be commissioned under the Design Excellence Program. Two distinguishable masses create an L-shaped plan which opens the architecture to the street, allowing for an accessible and public plaza. The larger of the two volumes rises 13 stories and is set back 155 feet from Main Street, while the smaller four story volume elegantly extends from its counterpart.
