The $600-million project, called 1111 Sunset, would include high-rise condominium and apartment towers, town houses, shops, restaurants and two acres of public open space designed by James Corner Field Operations, the landscape architect behind New York’s High Line elevated park. [...]
The 98-room boutique hotel is to be designed by Kengo Kuma. It would be the major Los Angeles project for the high-profile Japanese architect known for melding his structures to their natural surroundings.

First announced last October, the redevelopment of the William Pereira-designed former Los Angeles Metropolitan Water District HQ, right on the edge of Downtown Los Angeles and Echo Park, is further taking shape.
Besides new renderings of the 1111 Sunset Boulevard scheme, showing two high-rise residential buildings with several low-rise residences grouped around their bases and an integrated mid-rise hotel, the addition of Kengo Kuma and Stanley Saitowitz / Natoma Architects was revealed. Kuma will be in charge of the hotel design.
Leading the overall architectural planning and landscape design are Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and James Corner Field Operations.
