Briefly

The Webster / Adjaye Associates
"The Webster's latest flagship store in Los Angeles is a new 11,000 square feet ground-up retail development adjacent to the historic Los Angeles Beverly Center. Juxtaposed beneath the monolithic eight story structure, The Webster elegantly asserts itself as a sculptural and experiential counterpoint to the Beverly Center's retail experience. The cantilevered concrete facade references and reimagines the brutalist shell of the original existing building and is injected with a pink dye-an ode to the luminosity of California, where the Pacific light naturally amplifies saturated colors."

Webster's Los Angeles flagship occupies 11,000 square feet as a ground-up retail building adjacent to the historic Beverly Center. The project sits beneath a monolithic eight-story structure and asserts a sculptural, experiential counterpoint to the surrounding retail environment. A cantilevered concrete facade deliberately references and reimagines the existing building's brutalist shell. The concrete is injected with a pink dye to evoke California luminosity. The design leverages Pacific light to naturally amplify saturated colors, producing a vivid, regionally resonant retail presence that contrasts with and complements the Beverly Center's form and scale.
