Coco Republic – Culver City
Project Overview
This project features the interior renovation of a single-level, 75,000-square-foot furniture retail and showroom space located at 3225 Helms Avenue in Culver City, California. The scope includes new and revised designs for power, lighting, plumbing, and selective HVAC systems, with primary emphasis on electrical and plumbing engineering and minimal HVAC diffuser relocations. Design development is based on the files and correspondence received on December 22, 2021. If pursued, the proposed café area will be delivered as a separate plan check and permit package, independent from the main showroom renovation, allowing for a streamlined and efficient approval process.
Project Scope
Electrical Engineering:
Our electrical engineering services focus on delivering a fully coordinated and code-compliant interior electrical system. Services include reviewing as-built documentation, evaluating existing system capacity, and designing power distribution, interior and exterior lighting circuiting, lighting controls, emergency egress lighting, and Title 24 energy compliance calculations. We also provide single-line diagrams, voltage drop, and short circuit calculations, ensuring a safe, efficient, and reliable electrical infrastructure tailored to the showroom renovation.
Mechanical Engineering:
Mechanical engineering services center on optimizing the building’s HVAC system to support the renovated interior layout. We review existing as-built drawings, assess site conditions, and provide targeted relocations of supply and return diffusers as needed. Our approach ensures occupant comfort while minimizing disruption to the existing system and seamlessly integrating with the overall renovation design.
Plumbing Engineering:
Plumbing engineering services include the design of new piping and fixture connections to support restrooms, breakrooms, water heaters, and specialty features. Services involve reviewing as-built documentation, observing site conditions, and producing plumbing riser diagrams to ensure coordinated, code-compliant, and constructible solutions. Our designs are carefully integrated to support the functionality of the showroom while maintaining efficiency and reliability across the building’s water systems.
