Century Park
A tenant app for the three towers of Century Park, designed from the front door in. The campus is the first screen, the floor is picked on the building itself, and the badge lives in the app.
Three towers in Century City. Thirteen outside systems behind one front door, and an app that asked tenants for what the building already knew. We started again, at the door.
What we found
Century Park is 2029 and 2049 Century Park East and 2000 Avenue of the Stars. Behind its front door sat thirteen outside systems, and an app that asked tenants to type in their tower, their floor and their company: information the building already had.
What we designed
One account for every tower on the campus. Arrival on the property itself, a floor picked on the building, and a digital badge requested, approved and activated in the app. Then a dashboard for the building’s day, in Century Park’s own colours.
From the door in.
Four instruments of the campus, each beside the screen we designed for it.
The campus
Before anyone signs in, the app opens on the property itself: our own drone footage of the towers, cut into a loop with no seam.
The first thing a tenant sees is the place they work, not a form.
The towers
Swipe, and the camera travels around the campus to the next tower and settles on its number.
It keeps moving the way you swiped and stops exactly on the building, so the motion always reads as one journey.
Every floor
Tenants pick their floor on the tower itself, not from a list. Tap the building or a number and a soft light rides the lift up to it.
The floor then opens into the building directory, where the company is already listed, so sign-in asks only for the part of a work email before the @.
The reader post
The steel post at the tower entrance is the building’s own instrument, so we brought it into the app. We scanned the real post with LiDAR and rebuilt it in 3D.
Tap Badge in the navigation: the reader rises, the badge lands, the light turns green. One badge opens every tower on the campus.
Request to green light.
Tenants already carry a physical building badge. In the app they ask for its digital twin, and the building team stays in charge of who gets one.
Request
A photo, a few details and a last look before sending. The app asks only for what the building does not already know.
Approval
The request reaches the building team, who approve or deny it in a view of their own.
Activation
Once approved, the badge activates in the app: it lands on the reader and the light turns green.
A fix, when needed
If a request is denied, the tenant sees what to change and sends it again.
Today, at the Park
After sign-in, the app becomes the building’s day. Stories for what is coming up on the campus. Quick actions for visitors, rooms, parking and repairs.
Every eatery and amenity with its hours, shown in the building’s own photographs, and security and management at the bottom, one tap away. When a badge is approved, it waits on the dashboard, ready to activate.
How it was made.
Real places, real instruments, and motion that always has a reason.
Drone footage
Our own flight around the towers, graded and cut into a loop for the welcome screen.
A scanned reader
The real reader post at a tower entrance, captured with LiDAR and rebuilt clean in 3D.
A model of the campus
A 3D model built from the site plan, so the camera can travel between the towers.
The building’s own photographs
Every eatery and amenity is shown in Century Park’s own pictures.
Century Park’s colours
The olive and sage of the property’s brand, carried into every screen.
A prototype to hold
A click-through prototype, from the welcome screen to the green light at the reader.

Tell us about the building, the people inside it and the systems already in the walls. We will tell you what we would build first.
