San Diego firms BASILE Studio and Jules Wilson Design Studio have revealed their collaborative design of the South lobby of Diega, a mixed-use high-rise in downtown San Diego. The flexible space was crafted to complement both its residential and retail tenants with a responsive design informed by nature.
“As the world adapted to life in a pandemic, we’ve also had to adjust our original plans for this lobby corner,” says Jules Wilson, founder of her eponymous studio. “We partnered with BASILE Studio to turn the available space into a one-of-a-kind, interactive art installation—an urban forest that also operates as a multifunctional area for residents to utilize for coworking, social gatherings, lounging, and more.”
