So what architecture firm do you work at? Which one? Oh, that one. Well, a bunch of architecture firms were recently recognized in a list of the Best Places to Work in L.A., as named by the Los Angeles Business Journal. Cuningham Group Architecture was one of the companies listed--and they happen to be behind Element, that new 50-unit new Marina Loft District development that's opening this fall for move-ins. Prices range from the mid 500’s to just over $1 million. Meanwhile, who else is on the Best Places To Work? Gensler? Yes. And a bunch more. Not entirely sure how businesses are picked, but the whole list is after the jump. UPDATE: Press release excerpt explains how business were picked; it's after jump.
