Herman Miller / Berverly Blvd
The Herman Miller Furniture Company showroom on Beverly Blvd in Los Angeles is the only commercial building designed by Charles Eames. He designed the showroom in 1949, at the same time he was working on The Eames House / Case Study House #8,
The Entenza House / Case Study House #9, and the ESU.
The showroom was one of four by Herman Miller at the time. George Nelson designed the New York, Chicago and Grand Rapids locations. Image: Eames: Beautiful Details byThe Eames Office and Ammo Books
Windows include both fixed and operable awning casements, just like at the Eames house below. Image: Eames: Beautiful Details

Long Beach / Killingsworth
"U" As a Set, Claire Falkenstein at CSU Long Beach
Although various architects designed the individual buildings, it was Killingsworth, Brady and Smith who did the original mater plan for the campus. Edward Killingsworth was the master plan architect for the school for over forty years.
The Killingsworth influence is hard to miss.
In 2006, the plaza in front of Brotman Hall was dedicated to Killingsworth. This is also where this Lymon Lough Fountain is located.

NOW, Piotr Kowalski, 1964
Ed Lovell was the landscape architect for the campus.
Across town on Ocean Blvd is this 1958 Killingsworth, Brady and Smith. It could be yours, here.
