Bergmeyer announced today a significant investment in its Los Angeles operations with an innovative new office space at 360 E. 2nd Street in the heart of Little Tokyo. This strategic initiative reflects our deep commitment to the West Coast market and our vision of creating transformative design experiences that connect people, places, and possibilities.

The new workspace embodies Bergmeyer's human-centered design philosophy through thoughtfully crafted environments that inspire creativity and foster connection. The office features an abundance of natural light and collaborative workspaces that visually and spatially connect our teams with each other. Designed to embrace diverse work styles, the space seamlessly transitions between areas for concentrated individual work and dynamic team engagement, creating an environment that adapts to our community's evolving needs.

"Los Angeles is a dynamic ecosystem of innovation and creativity where Bergmeyer's collaborative approach can truly thrive," said Rachel Zsembery, CEO of Bergmeyer. "Bergmeyer’s LA office relocation is more than a change of address. It is an investment that reflects Bergmeyer's continued commitment to building and growing lasting client and partner relationships from our West Coast office and is a bold step forward in our vision for creating positive impact through design in the LA community."

The new office will support Bergmeyer’s full range of practice areas and markets, with specific emphasis on the wellness, retail, higher education, and food and beverage markets. It will also serve as a hub for industry events, design education, and community engagement.

  • The Lounge offers a relaxed setting for team engagement and creative inspiration, complete with design resources, a Bergmeyer community lending library, and a pin-up space
  • The Materials Library features high-top tables and ample layout space for project development and client meetings

Leslie Young, Managing Director of Bergmeyer's Los Angeles office, noted, "This new space represents more than expanded square footage — it's a testament to our investment in Los Angeles' creative future. The thoughtfully designed environment enables our teams to better serve West Coast clients while creating a magnetic hub for top design talent. We've created an inspiring home for meaningful connections within LA's vibrant design community, fostering innovation and collaboration at the intersection of Little Tokyo and the Arts District."
