An expansive boardroom commands views of the Hollywood Hills. Even
the fifth-floor outpatient surgery area has a cool-yet-welcoming feel.
The culmination of this effort to raise spirits through design is
achieved in the blue atrium that links the eighth and ninth floors.
Layered panels, finished in Venetian plaster, turn the end walls into
relief sculptures, and Louis Poulsen’s cone chandeliers hang in the void.
An open staircase links the labs and seminar rooms on the two levels,
and some of the brightest minds in medicine exchange ideas and data
in the central seating area.
Cedars-Sinai was willing to invest in quality and longevity, but it
was a challenge for the designers to balance all the conflicting priorities.
Pendergrast says, “Individuals were very specific about the design of
their offices, but we were all able to agree on a palette of colors and
materials that achieves a sense of harmony in the shared spaces.” c
