When the historians look back at the evolution of Downtown Los Angeles,
they'll take special note of 2007. They'll recognize that not only did
a healthy batch of projects arrive last year, but that many of these
developments had been anticipated for a long, long time. As they
opened, the fabric of Downtown changed, and so did the perception of
the area.
A fickle economy, rising construction costs, and skittish buyers are
just a few of the factors that have slowed the frenzied development in
downtown Los Angeles to a crawl. But as two of the area’s largest
planned projects—Frank Gehry and the Related Companies’ $3 billion
Grand Avenue Project and the $1 billion Park Fifth condo towers
The decors are what truly set this collection apart, through body
rectified porcelain textures and finishes that create linear
rectangles, mosaics, cut and dimensional stone patterns.
Our Santa Monica location is going to be the place where architects and designers can spend time in an environment filled with creative options.
Luncheon presentations, mixers and seminars will also be part of our services supporting all your design requirements.
The five-story streamline modern building at 6067 Wilshire was designed
as a May Company department store by AC Martin and Samuel Marx in 1939.
The structure’s most recognizable element is the cylindrical,
gold-colored tower and deco signage on its northwest side. LACMA
purchased the property in 1991, opening it for exhibitions in 1999.
Ultimately, however, the plan will test competing priorities for which
San Francisco is famous: its embrace of ecological causes and its
aversion to denser development. As is typical with any big proposal in the city, the leaders of
neighborhood groups are already lining up in opposition. Efforts are
under way to establish Parkmerced as a historic landmark, a designation
that would severely curtail development.
Jensen's design is understated: An enclosed bridge along the Minna
Street face of SFMOMA will lead down five feet to what is now the
walled-in top floor of a garage built by the museum in 1999. There'll
be a glassed-in pavilion with walls that slide back when weather
permits, a long window that allows views into (and out from) the
fifth-floor gallery, and three gingko trees carefully spaced to break
up the 11,400-square-foot space.
