SUNSET LA CIENEGA – RES IDENCES*

Los Angeles, CA

Type: Residential, Mixed Use Size: 190 units 8-story

The two-acre residential development is located on the southwest corner of Sunset and La Cienega Boulevards. Two eight-story towers, offering a total of approximately 190 residential units, rise above a 30,000-square-foot retail podium, an open air plaza, and underground parking facilities. The towers' facades are punctuated with integrated billboards, reflecting the visual energy and bold commercial legacy of the Sunset Strip. On the exterior, every other window recedes into the building at a strategic angle to hide air-conditioning units installed in the resulting ledges. The pleated surfaces catch different colors of daylight as the sun shifts throughout the day, creating a kinetic composition of light and shadow. Inside, units vary from one- to two-bedroom and single- to double-height configurations. What distinguishes the interiors is their flexibility: Walls pivot and fold to adjust the scales of rooms for various uses, so that a living room can transition into a studio or a home office.
