Though its quirky exterior might make some mistake it for a new area of Universal Studios, Oakley‘s futuristic-looking headquarters is the embodiment of everything the brand had envisioned. Behind its reinforced blast walls is a facility honoring all aspects of technology and invention with its steampunk interior, high-tech offices, and a massive 400-seat amphitheater described as a “sawmill on steroids.” In this edition of Spaces, CEO Colin Baden talks about how the site started as a private residence project with brand founder James Jannard before evolving into the complex it is today. Check out the video and let us know what you think. For more HYPEBEAST Spaces, head over here.
