LUXURY MODERN MULTIFAMILY PROJECT RECENTLY COMPLETED IN WEST HOLLYWOOD
West Hollywood, CA – March 11, 2020 – Construction was recently completed on The Harland West Hollywood, a multifamily development of modern condominiums designed to reimagine high-density urban infill living while celebrating local neighborhood character.
Embracing fluidity between indoor and outdoor living, the project, on the border of West Hollywood and Beverly Hills, The Harland is comprised of 37 condominiums and townhome residences with expansive outdoor terraces made with layered spaces around a communal interior courtyard and an iconic, undulating facade along Doheny Drive.
The building is split into two zones, rising four stories along the west and three stories within the predominately low-rise neighborhood to the east. Together, the zones wrap the building’s internal courtyard, with the alternating eastern units set-in from the property line to bring light from three sides. Designed by Culver City-based architectural firm OFFICEUNTITLED, with interiors by Marmol Radziner, each residence features custom cabinetry, storage and detailing with floor-to-ceiling glass and rooms that open out onto outdoor terraces.
Augmenting the project’s stucco façade are bronze metal screens, and Kebony modified wood louvres and vertical privacy screens. Kebony was also specified as decking for the outdoor environments. “We like to use natural finishes wherever we can,” OFFICEUNTITLED principal and architect Christian Robert said. “And we particularly like the low maintenance and naturally occurring patina of Kebony, which complements the stucco. There’s something poetic about it.
The building includes one-, two-, and three-bedroom flats, penthouses and three-bedroom townhomes that range in size between 1,500 and 3,100 square feet. The townhomes feature a double-height great room with expansive ceiling heights, while penthouse residences include expansive rooftop terraces featuring shaded pergolas, Kebony wood decking, integrated planters and outdoor kitchens. Many units offer panoramic views of the Hollywood Hills, Century City and the downtown LA skyline. The result is a project that reinterprets the energy of West Hollywood, Beverly Hills and the urban fabric.
