Sony San Diego

Vision

Guided by its fundamental design principles, Sony Electronics’ recently unveiled 11-story office tower embodies simplicity, intricate sophistication, enduring materials, equilibrium, and a commitment to efficiency and sustainability. From an external perspective, the architectural concept draws inspiration from the adjacent plateau, nestled between the lower desert and the Pacific Ocean.

The expansive seven-acre site features an alluring one-acre garden that seamlessly links the office tower to the six-story parking deck nearby. The landscaping, inspired by canyon formations, mirrors the nearby natural rock outcroppings through the use of indigenous plantings. Above this natural oasis stands the office block, situated atop a sandstone base that smoothly transitions from the garden ambiance to a sleek, meticulously designed glass and metal curtain wall.
