In 2024, a leading global media localization company completed its relocation to a newly constructed, state-of-the-art headquarters in Burbank, California. The sprawling 150,000-square-foot facility spans three floors and consolidates previously dispersed offices into a single unified workspace. As the furniture and technology provider, Tangram Interiors partnered with design firm HLW to bring to life an environment that supports both technical excellence and creative collaboration at the highest level.

Project Goals

The client aimed to establish a flagship location that would serve as the Western Hemisphere’s central hub for media localization, post-production, and client services. Core objectives included building world-class sound stages and production suites while also fostering a vibrant, people-centered workplace that inspires creativity and community. This project’s focus was on creating an immersive, high-quality environment tailored to the needs of the film and entertainment industry, with an emphasis on precision-tuned audio and ultra-high-definition video displays.
