"Kings1030" by Lorcan O'Herlihy Architects [LOHA] features a 4-story, 30-unit residential building in West Hollywood. Utilizing fluted metal and recycled panels, the design carves out large portions of its mass to create communal spaces and integrate the building into the lively pedestrian neighborhood. https://buff.ly/4bte1hw #UrbanArchitecture #SustainableDesign #CommunityLiving

From AIA Los Angeles: "Bellevue53’s thoughtful design ensures it fits perfectly among surrounding homes. The roofline is particularly impressive, contributing to a detailed distinction between the interior and exterior spaces. The view of the pool is a highlight, showcasing the building's skillful design that, in less capable hands, could have resulted in something ordinary. The ground-floor retail space is well-integrated, enhancing the building's interest and avoiding a monotonous, density-driven block."

Shipping containers rise to form Lorcan O’Herlihy's new supportive housing development for South LA https://lnkd.in/g8Aac5cB

Our Bellevue53 has been recognized as a winner in the AIA Los Angeles Residential Awards. Congratulations to our client CIM Group and collaborators on this project! As Los Angeles embraces densification, the tension between housing and single-family homes intensifies. LOHA's Bellevue project eases this tension by weaving the essence of the neighborhood into community fabric through stepped façades, exterior spaces, and public amenities. Drawing inspiration from the neighborhood, LOHA developed a rhythmic massing that echoes the steep topography and reduces the scale of the building.

LOHA and Holos Communities celebrated the grand opening of Isla Intersections Supportive Housing and Paseo with a block party and ribbon-cutting on Saturday, June 15, joined by Mayor of Los Angeles Karen Bass, Councilmember Marqueece Harris-Dawson and Chairman, CEO and President of the Annenberg Foundation Wallis Annenberg. Located on the same block as an LA Metro stop and an 8-minute walk from the Metro C Line Harbor Freeway stop, Isla Intersections is an example of smart growth principles and infrastructure with environmental justice in mind for tenants and community members. Isla’s siting in a transit-oriented community near public transportation reduces the need for parking and provides tenants built-in access to the rest of Los Angeles. The modular shipping container stacks are optimally positioned to reduce noise from nearby roads and highways, ensuring tenants have peace of mind inside their units.
