Twitch’s new LA office reflects their fun and unconventional company culture while piloting new ways of working and creating an inviting space for entertainment.  

Inspired by its surroundings in LA’s Arts District, the design merges industrial and colorful features with real-life video game-like spaces, enhanced with vibrant and interactive accents. Eight local artists were commissioned to infuse art throughout, including: a 11’ x 9’ neon logo, 5 hanging plywood street art panels, a 18-foot-wide mural, and a 103-foot-long custom gradient neon installation. 

It is the first fully free address office in the company, with more than 2/3 of space dedicated to non-traditional office space. Like their online platform, the built space is meant to be a home base from where Twitchers can choose their own adventure. The space is divided into thirds and focuses on bringing a different aspect of the company’s online experience into the physical environment with dedicated zones for entertainment

(‘dark mode’), community (‘color mode’), and focus (‘light mode’). Dark Mode is filled with spaces where influencers and streamers can create content, hang out, live broadcast, and host events. Light Mode spaces are meant for productivity and focus, while Color Mode is a celebration where shades of red and blue come together – culminating in purple, Twitch’s company color.   

Sustainability, resilience, and economic responsibility were equally critical to the project’s success. Over 50% of existing architecture and infrastructure was repurposed. As the previous layout was split into thirds, the new design created colored zones for each and tied them into gaming culture while applying a programmatic function to each zone. Over 10% of furniture was reused, repurposed, or upcycled. 100% of paints and sealants used have no or low VOC content and emissions, while 40% of the lighting was reused. All wood used is certified by FSC.
