Culver City's Hayden Tract has long served as an architectural playground for Eric Owen Moss. In recent years, the SCI-Arc director has designed a variety of undulating structures that decorate the former industrial neighborhood, including a vertical cactus garden and the Samitaur Tower (a familiar landmark to Expo Line passengers). Moss' latest creation is a four-story mini-tower dubbed "Waffle," currently taking form on Hayden Avenue. World Architecture News reports that the project will stand 55 feet tall, containing a conference area, mezzanine lounge, closed meeting space and a rooftop deck. Waffle is a unique adaptive re-use project, utilizing the frame of a 60 year old former industrial press. Signage is also up for Moss' proposed 12-story office building at the corner of Jefferson and National Boulevards, although work is not imminent for that project.

This is fantastic. Well done Eric Moss Owen Architects. Hopefully we'll eventually see that 12-story office stand beside the Expo Line aerial someday soon.
