About this business
Bestor Architecture
Barbara Bestor founded Bestor Architecture in Los Angeles in 1995. The Los Angeles studio of Bestor Architecture, located in a century-old former rail depot, embodies the company's imaginative union of architecture and infrastructure at multiple scales. The studio has a status for crafting experiences that are immediate yet comprehensive, grounded yet otherworldly, creating an atmosphere of anticipation and wonder. Beats by Dre's headquarters and Snap's Blackbirds small lot development in Echo Park are among the many awards-winning buildings built by Bestor Architecture. Bestor Architecture has more commercial and residential projects, ranging from experimental to speculative. This portfolio is diverse, innovative, and visually progressive, pushing the bounds of what architecture can be and do. The firm's most recent project is the Silverlake Conservatory of Music, which transforms a vintage Hollywood warehouse into a vibrant musical paradise by inserting an inner urban village. Ashes & Diamonds is a winery and event center that also has headquarters, offices for high-tech companies, and a daycare for employees.
