The Los Angeles headquarters for Sony Pictures Animation, Sony Pictures Imageworks, and Crunchyroll brings Sony Pictures Entertainment’s animation, VFX, and anime divisions under one roof to the cultural corridor of LA’s Miracle Mile.
Designed as a creative hub, with cutting-edge technology, the interiors unfold as a sequence of character-driven spaces that inspire collaboration, innovation, and connectivity. Rich textures, sculptural geometries, and curated landscaping create immersive environments that are both evocative and modern.
The campus flows like a series of scenes, anchored by shared gathering spaces. A vibrant indoor-outdoor dining room, an elevated coffee bar, a serene wellness room, and a 146-seat Dolby Atmos® and Dolby Vision® theater create a captivating experience to enjoy screenings. These richly detailed interiors serve as a binding element between the divisions, fostering collaboration and sparking creativity.
Advanced post-production facilities—including voiceover rooms, edit bays, motion capture rooms and screening suites—are seamlessly integrated with meeting rooms and rejuvenation spaces, balancing technical precision with an artistic atmosphere. The result is a unified animation hub that invites artists, writers, and creators to take center stage, letting ideas flourish to tell great stories.
