ZGF master planned and designed the new headquarters for the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation to carry out its philanthropic mission. Located in the Santa Monica Mountains, the 44-acre campus has been designed to respect its natural setting and to adapt to the region’s environment. The development of this contemporary office campus provides the Foundation with a central headquarters to operate, maintain, and coordinate its long-term charitable projects. The full build-out of office space and support facilities will be implemented over four phases, along with site improvements. Phase 1 is a 22,240 SF, LEED Platinum® office building featuring a reception area, meeting rooms, and a convenience kitchen with casual seating. To reflect the Foundation’s primary objectives of providing innovative solutions to maximize energy efficiency and environmental protection, the building has been designed to achieve net-zero energy, and to set a regional precedent for environmental stewardship. Sustainable design features include a green roof, solar energy panels, passive heating and ventilation systems, and a stormwater collection system.
