Hollywood puppet theatre becomes Chief LA members' club
A clubhouse for women in business now occupies a 1940s theatre in Los Angeles, following renovation work by JM|A+D and TAP Studio, with interiors by AvroKO.
The three studios collaborated to rehabilitate the former Hollywood puppet theatre to create the Los Angeles flagship for Chief, which offers memberships to women in leadership roles.
Like Chief's other locations, the LA flagship clubhouse is designed to have a residential feel
"Designed as a space for the most powerful women in business to connect and find community, we re-conceptualized the historic structure as a modern pied-a-terre, reinterpreting the best elements of traditional member's club environments with a bold, lush palette," said the team in a joint statement.
JM|A+D and TAP Studio ? both based in California ? worked on restoring the theatre building while updating the spaces for their new purposes. The former theatre was converted to include two bars, five conference rooms and multiple lounges
"From scattered wet bars and mothers' rooms to carefully scaled seating and meeting areas, our goal was to develop a female-focused environment that brings the membership network?s mission to life," the team said.
"We dovetailed original building elements with new millwork, pathways, and technology to create an enfilade of communal and enclosed zones designed to host large events, lingering, chance encounters and focused work."
Conference rooms are each identified by a different colour
