In 2024, Lincoln Property Company partnered with Tre Borden /Co to curate artwork for their newly opened regional headquarters in El Segundo, California. The goal was to infuse the sleek, modern office environment with warmth, texture, and a sense of creative identity that reflects the company’s forward-thinking ethos.
Tre Borden /Co selected two original works by American artist Trey Hurst, whose abstract practice explores the intersection of memory, architecture, and materiality. Hurst, born in Baton Rouge and now based in Bangkok, Thailand, is known for his bold compositions on raw canvas and handmade Saa paper. The two selected pieces - installed in the building’s main lobby and a central hallway - serve as visual anchors within the space. Their rhythmic brushwork and layered geometry echo the architectural lines of the office while offering a meditative counterbalance to the corporate setting.
About the Artist: Trey Hurst (b. 1988) holds a Bachelor of Architecture from the Illinois Institute of Technology and an MFA from California College of the Arts. His work has been exhibited internationally, including solo shows in Los Angeles and appearances at art fairs in Paris and Lille. His practice is rooted in “pattern-building,” a process of repetitive mark-making that reflects both personal memory and the structural patterns of the built world.

Client: Sterling Bay
Collaborators: Gensler, Serbia Stewart Consulting, Bnbuilders
Featured Artists: Serge Attukwei Clottey, Studio Tutto (Sofia Laçin and Hennessy Cristophel), DNGR:DNGR (Ginger Q + Daniel Hyo Kim)
Pacific Center is a new life sciences campus located in San Diego’s Sorrento Mesa neighborhood.
Tre Borden /Co was brought on by developer Sterling Bay to lead a robust public art program that transforms the site’s shared spaces into a vibrant, comfortable, and engaged environment. This large-scale, multi-phase development is a unique opportunity to embed meaningful and ambitious artwork into the core identity of a commercial campus.
Tre Borden /Co curated a trio of artists to create permanent, site-specific works that reflect the natural and cultural landscapes of San Diego:
Title: Lush Canyon
Artist(s): Studio Tutto; Sofia Laçin and Hennessey Cristophel
Location: Garage Facade
A large-scale installation installed across the parking structure’s facades, Lush Canyon pays tribute to the diverse canyons and native flora of the San Diego region. With a delicate, painstaking process of hand painting and layering the imagery that adorns this 25,000 sq ft. surface, Studio Tutto evokes a meditative sense of place, grounding the built environment in ecological memory and local landscape.
Title: Bios Morphe
Artists: DNGR:DNGR (Ginger Q & Daniel Hyo Kim)
Location: Plaza Stair Wall
This wall-mounted sculpture combines polished cut steel and glowing neon in abstracted shapes sourced from 3D scans of local plants sacred to the Kumeyaay people, San Diego’s original stewards. The piece offers a futuristic yet deeply rooted experience, reflecting the interconnectedness of land, culture, and community.
Title:Journey Through Time
Artist: Serge Attukwei Clottey
Location: Plaza Sculpture
A vibrant architectural sculpture made with the artist’s signature yellow plastic material, repurposed from Ghanaian “Kufuor gallons.” This installation - encompassing both a wayfinding space and acting as a a bright yellow beacon - uses Clottey’s visual language of environmental resilience and migration to connect California’s innovation corridor with a global conversation on sustainability, identity, and belonging.

Client: HOK Architects
Featured Artist:
Adee Roberson - Permanent Commission
Soo Kim - Inaugural Rotating Artist
HOK Design and Space Teams
Photography: Chad Davies
In celebration of HOK’s 40th anniversary in Los Angeles and their relocation to a new downtown office, Tre Borden /Co was brought on to curate and commission artwork that would reflect the firm’s values and the city’s vibrant creative culture. The project included both a permanent centerpiece for the main social space and a rotating artist wall in the lobby of their new office at The Row DTLA.
Artist Adee Roberson created a large-scale wall wrap based on a screen print from her personal collection, hand-painted on site to introduce texture, warmth, and movement. Roberson’s practice, rooted in Black diasporic traditions and familial archives, infuses the space with both personal resonance and broad cultural depth.
The inaugural artist for the rotating wall is Soo Kim, whose sculptural photo collages explore architecture, memory, and spatial perception. Her piece greets visitors with a layered meditation on the built environment, perfectly suited to a space dedicated to design and innovation.
This project reflects HOK’s commitment to equity and the elevation of creative voices of color in a field still dominated by homogeneity. Led by Adaeze Cadet, the first Black woman to serve as Design Principal for any HOK office globally, the LA studio has also been recognized as the Los Angeles Business Journal’s DEI Midsize Company of the Year.

Client: The RMR Group
Role: Producer and Art Consultant
Artists: Dan Tran, Studio Tutto, Thomas Ramey
MUSE is a reimagined biomedical research campus located in San Diego’s coastal Torrey Pines neighborhood, home to some of the country’s leading scientific institutions. Surrounded by the Salk Institute, UCSD, and the Torrey Pines Reserve, the site blends cutting-edge innovation with natural beauty, making it an ideal setting for a curated art program that reflects themes of discovery, systems, and interconnection.
Tre Borden /Co served as art consultant, curating a permanent collection that draws on the site’s dual identity as a place of scientific research and environmental wonder. Selected artists were asked to respond to core concepts in biology and ecology, resulting in works that explore the fundamental structures of life and the rhythms of the natural world.
Installed across the campus are:
FLOCK by Studio Tutto: A sculptural installation of 150 mirror-polished birds in flight, reflecting the landscape and sky as a symbol of emergence and motion.
Thermodynamics by Studio Tutto: A mural series illustrating the first three laws of thermodynamics, wrapping cylindrical columns at the heart of the campus.
LUCA by Dan Tran: A sculptural tribute to the Last Universal Common Ancestor and the shared building blocks of life.
Synergy by Thomas Ramey: A stainless steel sculpture inspired by molecular structures and the geometry of connection

Location: Los Angeles, CA
Client: HBO/Warner Media
Key Collaborators: Micah Crandall-Bear (Artist)
As part of a larger initiative to activate the newly built HBO headquarters in Culver City with bold, site-specific artwork, Tre Borden /Co commissioned Sacramento-born painter Micah Crandall-Bear to create two signature murals for the company’s central gathering space.
Known for his atmospheric abstractions that reference the Earth’s natural strata, Crandall-Bear designed a composition that echoes the surrounding Southern California horizon, with layers of color moving seamlessly from earth to sky. The mural spans across two expansive walls in one of the building’s most frequented communal areas, offering both a visual exhale and a quiet nod to the region’s landscape and light.

In September 2019 DPR Construction opened the doors to their newest regional office headquarters in Sacramento’s bustling Midtown neighborhood. The state-of-the art offices exemplify the company’s commitment to sustainability and design, but they also wanted to integrate into the wider community which is home to the region’s creative class. Tre Borden/Co was hired to commission 10 artists to design custom pieces of artwork, design features and furniture for the space.
The artist roster is a veritable who’s who of regional artists and designers. The mass-timber (the first CLT build out in the state) of the interior provides a bright environment for the artwork, and the collaborative atmosphere encourages people to interact with each piece and learn more about the region in the process.
