Housed in a 1937 Art Deco Building that originally housed the Agfa-Aansco Film Exchange in the early days of Hollywood, the Harris & Ruble Law Offices and Art Gallery is quickly establishing itself as Hollywood’s fashionable gallery for fine art and photography exhibitions.
AI Architects restored the building’s original detailing and spatial organization to accommodate law offices for ten attorneys, an art gallery, and an artist’s studio in 2009.
Layers of scabbed-on finishes were carefully stripped away, exposing original fenestration, ironwork, and the original columns and beams. All fenestration was freed from layers of paint, plastic, blinds, and other barriers. Windows were partially re-glazed and original frames and hardware restored.
New architectural elements were kept to a minimum, recreating a layout very similar to the original 1937 floor plans. The few new walls and low partitions were carefully inserted into the space, holding them back from the historic structure to allow the original space to re-establish itself and reverberate throughout.
