This one-hundred unit complex sits on the site of a former auto body shop in the center of San Francisco. Common spaces on the ground floor include a lounge and lobby area with a concierge and mail room. A neutral palette enhances a warm, organic modern feeling that is both calming and welcoming. Integrated lighting throughout extends to even small details; for example, the mail room was designed with cove lighting that frames matte black mailboxes and keyholes that are transformed into graphic elements.

Located at the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and Moreno Drive, this 39-story, 282 unit tower seeks to create an architecturally bold structure that will serve as a gateway to Century City. The design evolved from the process of creating a dynamic shape that would contrast with the neighboring flat top structures. The building is composed of four crystal-like quadrants, with balconies defining the dramatic angles that are expressed along the north and south facades. At street level, the two-story bases addresses the adjacent structures and creates an appropriate scale along Santa Monica Boulevard and Moreno Drive.
