EAZEE LIVING: CHEROKEE STUDIOS LOFTS by PUGH + SCARPA





















Some new lofts created by Pugh + Scarpa for the REthink Development Corp.  Pretty interesting layouts for the lofts and they come with some interesting views.  Part of the description below via ArchDaily:


Cherokee Lofts will be the most advanced and distinctive building of its kind in Los Angeles. It will be the first “green” LEED (Leadership in Energy and En- vironmental Design) Gold Certified building in Hollywood per the U.S. Green Building Council certification system and it will be the first LEED Gold Certi- fied mixed-use or market-rate multifamily building in Southern California. The development will pay homage to the significant musical and Hollywood history of Cherokee Recording Studios, MGM Studios before it, and all the artists who recorded music on the site from Frank Sinatra to David Bowie to Dave Mathews. Its unique architectural form and integrated function create a high performing building that is an expression of the environmental and cultural context in which it is built. Simply put, Cherokee Lofts will represent the preeminent realization of green design, form, and function in the epicenter of the entertainment capital of the world. It is the 2007 Westside Urban Forum Westside Prize Winner.  Read More...
