We are so excited to announce that we will have our own AIGA LA home in East Hollywood starting October 1st!

Surrounded by lush plants, Second Home’s open vibrant campus is designed to bring diverse communities together and spark new ideas (an environment we as AIGA LA, fully embrace). Thank you Second Home for your amazing support and opening your doors to inspire creativity.

Second Home is a London-based creative business that recently opened its first location in the U.S., designed by Spanish architects Selgas Cano. Think of Second Home as a mash up of all the office-space disruptors that have emerged in the past decade — but with a lot more greenery and no velvet ropes. Part incubator, part co-working space and part social hub where members will be able to record a podcast or hold an “all-hands” meeting right after a morning meditation or yoga class.

“We’re interested in incredible design and color but also curating a community. But what’s different is that we’re all about diversity because diversity makes creativity stronger,” says co-founder Rohan Silva. “We’re not curating for cool or for good looks. So if you’re a filmmaker, you might be working next to a refugee charity. Or if you’re a tech company, you might be working next to a global corporation. That’s the breadth of what we’re going for.”
