<p>The newly proposed $1 billion "vertical creative office" is meant as an office for tenants in Hollywood's creative content industries. </p>
<p>Renderings for the replacement design showcase a high-rise structure with 360-degree views provided by its cylindrical form and punctured by a diagonal schism that contains biophilic elements and gathering spaces ribboning around the building's volume in three bands. A rooftop restaurant culminates the design at its uppermost floor.</p>

<p>Located at 6061 Sunset Boulevard, only a few blocks away from Netflix' new Hollywood office campus, the planned office tower, dubbed '<a href="https://thestaronsunset.com/" target="_blank">The Star</a>,' intrigues with an unusual shape we would expect from the team at MAD and features landscaped gardens and terraces integrated throughout its 22 floors.</p>
<p>A short video rendering released this week reveals a textured glass facade and external elevator pods sliding up and down the building's spines.</p>
