This renovation and rehabilitation of an existing 1941 structure for Chief’s flagship women’s executive mentorship and coaching clubhouse includes two bars, outdoor patio, five conference rooms, lounges, and workspaces. Chief was founded to drive women forward into positions of power — and keep them there. The opening of Chief’s first West Coast presence brought the opportunity to define their mission spatially, reinterpreting traditional club environments. Located on the edge of Hollywood in a classic Los Angeles 1941 theater, the design conserved the original building elements that best conveyed the historic setting, dovetailing an enfilade of communal and enclosed spaces suited for focused work and interaction.
