Armata Pharmaceuticals
“Inherent in our collaboration with Armata Pharmaceuticals is a synergy, courage, and loyalty to designing a healthier, human-focused world.”
“There is an attraction to the Los Angeles region for life science research and manufacturing because it is ethnically diverse. Worksmart designs with a Southern California vernacular as the focus - we have a loyalty to the region.”
“This new, state-of-the-art facility is essential for our novel product form given the scarcity of phage-specific manufacturing capacity.”
Brian Varnum, Chief Executive Officer
Armata Pharmaceuticals


“Ballona Creek is a vital artery connecting communities throughout Los Angeles’ storied history. It is also an extraordinary resource for the future of biotechnology. Its revitalization has been realized in the past and has unlocked multi-industrial potential. We hope to continue the momentum with our collaboration with Armata Pharmaceuticals.”

The building is a beautiful midcentury modern canvas with large windows to the natural landscape surrounding it. The design brings the outside in with natural colors and organic textures, creating a warm and dynamic work environment.
The second floor features executive offices and a boardroom with a private galley. While the office environment is light and colorful, the boardroom exudes sophistication with lush textures and rich colors.
The office spans over two floors and features state-of-the-art laboratories, private offices, open workspaces, meeting rooms, and a variety of breakout and collaboration areas.
The cool color palette paired with natural wood elements promotes a relaxed atmosphere with employee well-being and modern research amenities at the forefront.
