HANCOCK LOFTS

摘要

Los angeles is a great big freeway. Or so the Burt Bacharach lyric goes. But in reality, parking-and not driving-shapes the urban fabric. In West Hollywood, city planners would like to increase urban density, a phrase that means bringing more people to the neighborhood to live, shop, and eat as well as promoting development around public transportation hubs. The planning policy is sustainably minded, but it comes up against LA.'s bete noire: parking. However, Koning Eizenberg Architecture's Hancock Lofts merges the two, weaving together 31 market-rate condos, seven affordable-housing rental units, 11,600 square feet of retail, and 217 parking spaces.
