This project is located adjacent to the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, an iconic building and symbol of a time when Hollywood Boulevard was filled with crowds going to the movies, shopping, dining, and walking.  Our goal was to complete the western end of Hollywood Boulevard where the majority of activity takes place and to make the space deferential to the existing landmark. The building is sited and designed for a maximum amount of public space on three levels, including the roof terrace. The interior is a continuous circuit of movement culminating in a public plaza on the roof. The building’s exterior is a continuous form of faceted planes sheathed in a glass skin with varying degrees of transparency depending on the time of day. We anticipate that people moving at all levels on both sides of the transparent walls will create a ‘moiré’ pattern.
