Belzberg Architects

The firm’s first commission was a house on undeveloped land atop a mountain in Malibu for prolific car collector, Bata Mataja.

Shortly after the completion of the Mataja Residence, the firm was awarded the contract to design a high-end restaurant, café, and Los Angeles Philharmonic gift store located within Gehry’s Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles, commissions that garnered critical acclaim and international recognition.

[3] Another major turning point for the firm was the much-lauded Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust in Pan Pacific Park.

Given the nature of this museum’s mission, the experience of it should be unusual, and this design makes it so: The amorphous geometry reinforces the unsettling journey through the museum.” And: “The whole effect is enhanced by the gradients of the light, which are torqued and reflective on the interior of the space.” Other key projects include The Gores Group headquarters, a commercial office building renovation at the western gateway of Beverly Hills; The Pavilion (2014) at City of Hope National Medical Center in Duarte, a multi-purpose project that marks the institution’s centennial; Skyline Residence (2007) in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles;[6][7] and single-family homes in Toronto, Mexico City, Atlanta, and Los Angeles.

In addition, Belzberg Architects has received two Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Committee Design Honor Awards.
