REthink is currently in the process of retrofitting a dilapidated building into two prime green restaurant spaces in the heart of downtown Culver City. The restaurant space is intended to be split into Washington Blvd-facing and Culver Blvd-facing spaces. The retrofit will take the building down to its bones with new systems installed. It will feature operable window walls that will open up to the 40 foot sidewalk while allowing for breezes and natural daylight to wash the space. It will also feature skylights and vent systems over each dining room to assisting ventilation and bring in additional daylight. The retrofit will also enable the addition of a full second and third story of green high performance pre-fab office space to be quickly added when appropriate. The development will be creatively tied in with the history of the adjacent Kirk Douglas Theatre, Sony Studios (formerly MGM), and Culver City itself giving it a unique perspective as well.
