Office Tour: James Cameron’s Avatar-Inspired Offices in Manhattan Beach

James Cameron is one of the most successful, well-known directors in the world currently working on the subsequent films for his blockbuster hit Avatar. When he and his producing partner Jon Landau decided to renovate their offices, they wanted it to reflect not only the look and feel of the next four Avatar films, but to also embrace the eco-friendly message behind the series.

They enlisted the help of designer Lynda Murray to bring that vision to life. The result is a completely green 100,000 square foot office that features sustainable materials and fabrics and a full solar panel system on the roof that has allowed the company to work at net-negative power for the past four years.

The offices are a beautiful representation of Pandora with some truly special touches. It’s a great reminder to fill your office with things that will inspire you and fuel your creativity. Enjoy this unique office tour courtesy of Architectural Digest.
