Scope Of Work
The Marengo Office Modernization project is located in the heart of downtown Pasadena, three blocks from DPR’s office. The client, Atlas Capital Group, partnered with Rios Clementi Hale Studios to reimagine the iconic building for a new future. The five-story, 360,000-sq.ft. structure, recognized as the building without windows, was designed by modernist architect Edward Durell Stone in 1974 and used as a credit card processing center for Bank of America. DPR repurposed the building into a core and shell office space with 790 subsurface parking spaces, and an amenity and fitness center on the ground floor, all on a 2.88-acre site. The design transformation included a new glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) exterior façade performed by SPW and our glazing trade partner, a new center atrium cut into the existing structure, new MEPF systems, and additional building upgrades aimed at attracting new tenants.
