🟩 CLUNE CONSTRUCTION CASE STUDY

MANATT, PHELPS & PHILLIPS LLP, CENTURY CITY, LOS ANGELES

A High-End, Multi-Floor Corporate Interior Build-Out in One of LA’s Most Prestigious Business Districts

🟦 PROJECT OVERVIEW

Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP—one of the nation’s premier law firms—commissioned a high-end interior transformation for their Century City office. Clune Construction delivered the multi-floor build-out, executed with precision, contemporary design intent, and meticulous attention to detail.

The finished environment spans over 130,000 square feet and features modern workspaces, collaborative zones, private offices, reception and client-facing areas, premium finishes, custom lighting, and carefully curated materials—all designed to reflect Manatt’s brand, culture, and operational standards.

Marc was commissioned to deliver a comprehensive suite of architectural, interior, and detail-driven visuals that showcased Clune’s craftsmanship and captured the refined aesthetic expected of a top-tier professional services environment.

🟥 THE STRATEGIC CHALLENGE

Century City represents one of Los Angeles’ most competitive commercial office markets, where prestige, design quality, and craftsmanship directly influence tenant perception and brand value. For Manatt, the office needed to serve as both a functional workspace and a physical embodiment of their identity: modern, sophisticated, and unmistakably professional.

For Clune Construction, the challenge was to deliver flawless execution—precision detailing, material excellence, and multi-floor continuity—while meeting the expectations of a high-profile legal client.

For your photography, the task was to create a visual narrative that communicated:

• the quality of Clune’s construction
• the integrity of the design
• the ambience, mood, and purpose of each space
• and the brand presence that distinguishes Manatt’s workplace from a standard office build-out

This required imagery that transcended documentation and delivered a polished, editorial-grade presentation suitable for marketing, business development, tenant relations, and firm branding.

🟧 THE APPROACH

To accurately reflect the space, the workflow focused on documenting not just architecture, but intention:

Architectural + Interior Documentation

Wide, mid, and detail shots captured the flow, materials, craftsmanship, and spatial hierarchy across multiple floors.

Lighting & Atmosphere

A careful blend of natural and ambient lighting preserved the authentic mood of offices, lounges, private rooms, and client-facing spaces—ensuring the photographs conveyed warmth, sophistication, and clarity.

Design & Material Detail

Finishes, textures, fixtures, glasswork, wood elements, and premium materials were documented with precision, reinforcing the elevated quality of Clune’s build.

Brand Alignment

Images were composed to reflect the professionalism, contemporary identity, and quiet authority embodied by Manatt’s brand.

The result: a curated visual set engineered for presentation, credibility, and long-term brand value.
