Situated along Las Palmas Avenue just steps away from Hollywood and Highland, this six-story project infills an 182-foot x 127-foot lot to become the tallest new construction in the neighborhood.

Units have been designed to optimize natural light and engage with surrounding views. Each apartment features oversized windows, glass sliders, and an atrium-like balcony. By recessing the balcony from the facade, SPF:a was able to expose three sides of the exterior space which amplifies the entering light.

Budgetary constraints played a role in materiality, pushing the architects to think creatively about how off-shelf products could bring the cost of construction down and reflect a custom look. Although the first floor of the building is concrete, floors two through six employ prefabricated wood framing, which reduced costs and shortened the construction schedule. Similarly, the main facade uses a combination of corrugated metal and plaster, alternated to create an animated pattern. The metallic finish that reflects the changing hues of the sky throughout the day to give a sense of a building always in flux.

Notably, vertical multi-floor connections are provided at various elevations, removing any feeling of sameness or repetition that can be relatively unpleasant for those living in apartment buildings. Unit distribution is equally creative, placing lofted apartments on both the ground and top floors. By creating double-floor units on the first floor, the spaces are opened up and afforded more light and privacy, making what are typically less coveted units, prime apartments.

Amenity spaces include a workspace and wet bar in the lobby, a courtyard pool, a recreation room with operable glass walls that open to the pool area, and a rooftop sky lounge.
