Hollywood and Garfield is a mixed-use, transit oriented housing project located near one of LA’s burgeoning subway lines in “East Hollywood.” The project incorporates both market rate and affordable units. Along Hollywood Blvd., the façade makes subtle references to the “art deco” character of early Hollywood with a striped vertical composition of creamy smooth troweled stucco and dark metal panels, windows and sunshades which contribute to the LEED certification goals along with other features such as storm water retention systems and green walls. Along the side street the project transitions from a “boulevard building” to a residential complex in both façade treatment and massing which steps down one story. The project was fully developed using BIM (building information modeling) software to track program areas and facilitate coordination and design refinements.
