SAN DIEGO—When Moss Adams employees walk into their new 15,455-square-foot office, they're seeing all red – in the best way possible. The tax, accounting and consulting firm has taken over the top floor of the La Jolla Commons Office Tower I | Hines located at 4747 Executive Drive in San Diego. A trio of San Diego companies – general contractor Pacific Building Group, construction management services by CBRE and interior design firm ID Studios, Inc. – created the striking red, gray and silver space.

The teams worked to transform the empty space into something aesthetically interesting, tech and energy savvy and encouraging of workplace collaboration. While the end result is a leading-edge suite, the top to bottom re-do of office space wasn't without challenges.

“Working within an occupied building required schedule coordination and communication among all three firms,” says Brandon Stevens, project manager at Pacific Building Group. “We also worked closely with Hines, the building owner, to ensure that all tenants were respected throughout the project.”
