Client: Fifield
Realty Corp. Lead Agency: City of Los Angeles Date Completed: April 2005 The project applicant proposes to develop the project site with 35 condominium units (with 10 accessory housekeeping condominiums) pursuant to a previous Tentative Tract Map (TTM) approval granted in 1979 and recorded on October 31, 1979. The 202,616 square foot high-rise residential building would be 21 stories or approximately 281 feet. 52.8 percent or 13,203 square feet of the existing vacant lot would be developed with the proposed high-rise building. The remaining 47.2 percent or 11,814 square feet of the project site would consist of open space. Parking would be provided on-site for approximately 111 vehicles in a three and a half level subterranean parking structure. Total grading would consist of approximately 38,600 square feet of soil. The design concept for the proposed project is inspired by Art Deco design. The design draws decorative inspiration from California lifestyle, with stylized waves, mountains, sunsets, and palm leaves. A decorative two-story base provides a welcome scale to the street and surrounding smaller buildings, and includes black, grey, and white marble facing. The windows are a silver tone with accents in the carved panels in gold. The middle floors of the building celebrate the verticality of the structure with large windows with a pale green tint and delicately fluted precast piers in a soft white tone. Balconies with glass railings punctuate the corners and give added dimension to the tower. The top of the building steps back to reveal an elegant decorative crown with multiple layers and offsets to create a dramatic skyline. Roof decks resulting from the parking structure are integrated with the extensive landscape program of gardens and terraces, visible vertical surfaces are articulated to be compatible and integral with the architecture of the building. Vehicular access to the proposed project's porte-cochere and parking area is proposed to occur via a driveway on Club View Drive.  Proposed project rendering. |
