Sempra Energy Headquarters

Vision

As Sempra Energy’s new downtown headquarters, this building is modern and sleek with clean and simple geometries balanced with bold, uncommon architectural moves that set it apart among the sea of downtown office buildings.

A cloak of deep blue glass folds around the steel mass with dramatically angled reveals and cuts. The glass reaches toward the ground without quite touching so as to leave the lobby exposed in a lighter, more transparent façade that allows the public to see in and office occupants to see out. The light-colored mullions and structural elements at the base of the tower related to the light-colored historic buildings on the site.
