We've Never Done This Before: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Studio One Eleven
We’ve Never Done This Before is a phrase most design firms avoid. We chose it as the title of our podcast on purpose.Cities don’t improve by always repeating what already exists. Neither do the teams shaping them. At Studio One Eleven, we start without guaranteed answers and resist the comfort of familiar solutions. That uncertainty forces better questions, deeper collaboration, and more creative outcomes. This podcast explores what happens when designers, planners, and communities are willing to step into the unknown—and why that mindset leads to stronger places and more resilient cities.

Eating Our Own Cooking
In our second episode, we step inside Studio One Eleven’s downtown Long Beach workplace, an adaptive reuse project that became a living experiment in community-driven design.Partners Alan Pullman and Michael Bohn, alongside team members and collaborators, share how the move from a disconnected high-rise to a vacant storefront reshaped not only their workplace, but the surrounding neighborhood.What began as an office relocation evolved into a collaborative urban lab that brings together artists, local businesses, and institutions, all helping spark the Downtown Long Beach Design District.Together, they reflect on risk, reinvention, and what it means to “eat your own cooking," aka testing ideas in real time and designing with the community, not just for it.
