Moving Out

Architects and planners Elizabeth Moule and Stefanos Polyzoides have been among the biggest fans and supporters of downtown Los Angeles. They were the lead consultants on a widely heralded $2-million strategic plan to help revitalize the commercial core. Their firm has long been located in a historic downtown building.

But now the husband-and-wife design team are preparing to do what so many other downtown employers have done before: head for the suburbs. Their firm has purchased and is renovating a historic building in Pasadena designed by Walter Neff.

Moule said their move is not “because we have any less confidence in downtown revitalization.” The new offices, which will be ready next year, are bigger and much closer to their Pasadena home than their current headquarters, she said.
