AC Martin is a California based architecture, planning, interior architecture and research firm that Our culture is a balance of art and business.

While the same principle that guided us in creating historic Los Angeles landmarks still informs us on each and every project we undertake—to create enduring environments that affect people's lives in a positive way—AC Martin's approach is constantly evolving and growing. Architecture has changed exponentially since our inception in 1906; the ever-increasing pace of technology means that our industry is in a constant state of flux. AC Martin's priority is to be at the forefront with an approach that is sustainable, technologically advanced, informed by research and pushes the boundaries of design. Having a bright and collaborative environment is important at AC Martin. With only one office in downtown Los Angeles we create a single hub of activity. On a daily basis you can see interns mingle with senior designers and clients; internal accomplishments and awards posted in the kitchen; a lunchtime watercolor class; or a project team in the studio pinning inspirational images. Here in this space, excellent design is nurtured and opposite viewpoints are welcomed in an effort to promote innovative design. We have a very diverse group of designers with different professional backgrounds who can offer alternative strategies for problem solving. By promoting innovation, discovery, and communication, while embracing the firm's traditions, history and accomplishments, we have created a distinct personality in the industry.

We’re less than one week away from opening the doors to our new Berkeley office!

As we count down to the move, we’re highlighting one of our East Bay projects - Portico for Cityview in Oakland. Inspired by the city’s waterfront history, the mixed-use development maximizes views of the harbor while creating a beacon-like presence along the public park and promenade.

We’re excited to begin this next chapter closer to our East Bay clients, partners, projects, and communities. Berkeley, here we come! See more of Portico: https://m.acmartin.com/portfolio/portico

𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲. AC Martin’s design for the California Natural Resources Agency headquarters was rooted in the agency’s mission: creating a place that reflects our vital connection to the natural environment while supporting the people whose work protects it.

Inspired by the California Delta and the state’s natural icons, the zero-net energy, LEED Platinum certified building brings nature into the workplace through cascading terraces, native landscaping, natural materials, and connections to fresh air and daylight. Reclaimed wood from the Paradise Fire and hand-tooled rammed earth walls further ground the building in California’s landscape and its environmental story.

Sustainability extends beyond the building’s environmental performance to the community it supports. Public open spaces, terraces, retail, and food service activate the surrounding neighborhood, while the headquarters unites 11 natural-resource organizations and 4,200 staff dedicated to protecting California’s water, energy, land, wildlife, forests, and communities.

The project was delivered through design-build in partnership with Turner Construction Company for the California Department of General Services.

California State University, Northridge and AC Martin developed a shared vision for the Autodesk Technology Engagement Center (ATEC)—a flexible, inclusive STEM hub shaped through workshops with university leaders, faculty, staff, and students.

Beyond its labs and makerspaces, the center expands access to STEM education, resources, and career pathways. ATEC is home to the 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗛𝘂𝗯, which works to close equity gaps in STEM; the 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗟𝗮𝗯, serves CSUN students and community learners from preschool through community college; and the 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗚𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿, offers advising, mentoring, networking, and career resources.

𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗙𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆. 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄.
The new Sciences and Engineering Laboratories at San Diego State University Imperial Valley in Brawley, CA is a robust, adaptable, and flexible facility that expands educational opportunity, supports research in clean lithium extraction and renewable energy, and gives students and the community access to STEM pathways to shape the future of the Imperial Valley—also dubbed the ‘Lithium Valley'.

Knowing flexibility was central to the design, the team designed hybrid spaces that could support multiple disciplines. The labs were designed to shift disciplines every three hours—maximizing the building’s value within the budget while allowing it to evolve with future programs and research. Serving as both an academic and economic catalyst, the facility creates the county’s first wet-lab teaching environment, providing hands-on learning for new four-year programs in biology, chemistry, engineering, and nursing. With laboratories making up 70% of the building, the project includes wet, damp, and dry labs, along with teaching, research, faculty, and collaboration spaces.

Today, we’re featuring the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power's (LADWP) downtown headquarters, now known as the John Ferraro Building. Designed by AC Martin and completed in 1965, the building has become one of Los Angeles’ most recognizable civic landmarks.

The building is iconic in its look, beloved for its nighttime appearance and the horizontal concrete slabs that define the building’s exterior. The building’s architecture is symbolic of the essential public at the heart of the city, supporting the everyday needs and well-being of the communities it serves. Its legacy of innovation extends to sustainability as well, becoming the first building in California to achieve LEED Zero Energy.

Its architectural significance and lasting impact have been recognized through numerous AIA awards, including the 1966 Award of Honor, the 1967 Premier Grand Prix Award, and the 1999 25-Year Award. In 2012, the Los Angeles City Council officially designated the building as a Historic-Cultural Monument.

This Disability Pride Month, we’re highlighting universal design as a foundation for creating more inclusive and welcoming campuses.

At West Los Angeles College, the site for the Dr. Morris J. Heldman Center has a 24-foot elevation change and a network of difficult-to-navigate paths, bridges, and elevators that created accessibility challenges. The design for the new Heldman Center addresses these barriers through universally accessible routes that meander through landscaped gathering spaces and create clearer connections across campus.

The result is more than a way to get from one place to another—it is an equitable campus experience designed to support access, connection, and belonging for everyone.

This Disability Pride Month, we’re celebrating the role design can play in advancing access, independence, and inclusive care.

At CSU Dominguez Hills’ Orthotics & Prosthetics Education Center, students learn, create, and provide care in specialized labs, maker spaces, and clinical environments designed to support their education and future practice. We love seeing these spaces in use by the next generation of O&P professionals.
