Architecture firm Morphosis has designed a 15-storey mixed-use development in Los Angeles comprising an angular white structure cradling a plant-covered glass tower.

The 8850 Sunset high-rise will host affordable housing units, condominiums, meeting rooms, a luxury hotel and retail spaces.

As part of the project, Morphosis will also redesign the Viper Room, an iconic music venue on the site founded by American actors Johnny Depp and Sal Jenco in 1993.

“8850 Sunset is both a response to the history of the site and a model for future urban developments that bridge commercial, social and residential life while engaging with the public,” said Morphosis founding partner Thom Mayne.

建築公司Morphosis在洛杉磯設計了一個15層高的混合用途開發項目,其中包括一個白色的角形結構,上面架著植物覆蓋的玻璃塔。

8850 Sunset高樓將容納經濟適用房,公寓,會議室,豪華酒店和零售空間。

作為該項目的一部分,Morphosis還將重新設計Viper Room,這是美國演員Johnny Depp和Sal Jenco於1993年在該網站上建立的標誌性音樂場所。

Morphosis的創始合夥人湯姆·梅恩(Thom Mayne)說:“ 8850 Sunset既是對遺址歷史的回應,也是未來城市發展的典範,它在與公眾互動的同時,彌合了商業,社會和住宅生活。”

Renderings of the 239,000-square-feet (22,203-square-metre) project show two glass volumes: one covered in greenery and the other wrapped in white cladding. The white structure curves from the base of the glass tower and extends to rest on top, and is formed by various angles.

A two-storey podium containing retail spaces will connect the two structures at ground level. It will be topped with the sloped landscaped terrace that curves to join the main body of the white tower.

A 100-foot-tall (30.48-metre-tall) void between the two designs is intended to offer views of Los Angeles.

239,000平方英尺(22,203平方米)的項目渲染圖顯示了兩個玻璃體積:一個被綠色覆蓋,另一個被白色外牆包裹。 白色結構從玻璃塔的底部彎曲並延伸到頂部,並形成各種角度。

包含零售空間的兩層裙樓將在地面上連接兩個結構。 它的頂部將是傾斜的景觀露台,該露台可以彎曲以連接白塔的主體。

兩種設計之間有一個100英尺高(30.48米高)的空隙,旨在提供洛杉磯的景緻。

“In approaching this project, we wanted the design to reflect the spirit of what makes Sunset Boulevard the iconic destination that it is, while pushing towards a 21st-century Los Angeles that is greener, denser, more sustainable, and more pedestrian-oriented,” Mayne said.

The eastern building, with plant-filled balconies, will accommodate apartments while the western tower will contain the hotel.

A sky bridge extending from the top of the hotel will provide guests and residents with access to a swimming pool, events space, outdoor dining, and a restaurant and bar.

“在進行此項目時,我們希望設計能夠反映出使日落大道成為其標誌性目的地的精神,同時推動21世紀的洛杉磯變得更綠色,更密集,更可持續,更面向行人, 梅恩說。

東樓設有充滿植物的陽台,可容納公寓,而西塔樓則包含酒店。

從酒店頂部延伸的空中天橋將為客人和居民提供進入游泳池,活動空間,戶外用餐場所以及餐廳和酒吧的通道。

“This project is all about light, space, landscape; all elements that define the iconic spaces of southern California,” said Morphosis partner Arne Emerson.

“But it’s also about the creative energy of West Hollywood and the Sunset Strip in particular – capturing the sense of exuberant optimism for the present and the future that has defined Sunset Boulevard through its many historical iterations and identities.”

The legendary nightclub, which is a popular hang out for Hollywood celebrities, is known as the location of the death of actor River Phoenix, who overdosed while partying at the club.

It was also reportedly also where Australian singer Jason Donovan overdosed during a party held by model Kate Moss and the start of a notorious, celebrity-filled poker gang that influenced the film Molly’s Game.

Morphosis will implement several passive and active design strategies into the construction to achieve a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold rating.

The firm intends to use an abundance of plantings, high-performance glass and an insulative facade on the building’s exterior to minimise energy use to achieve this. Spaces inside the building will also be designed to make use of natural ventilation and reduce direct solar gain.

Morphosis的合夥人Arne Emerson說:“該項目涉及光,空間,景觀;所有元素都定義了加利福尼亞南部的標誌性空間。”

“但是,這也特別涉及到西好萊塢和日落大道的創造力–捕捉了對現在和未來的樂觀情緒,這通過日落的許多歷史性變化和特徵來定義了日落大道。”

Viper Room音樂場所和位於8852 Sunset Boulevard的威士忌吧的重新設計版本。

傳說中的夜總會是好萊塢名人的熱門去處,被稱為演員鳳凰城之死的地點,鳳凰城在該俱樂部聚會時過量服用。

據報導,在模特兒凱特·莫斯(Kate Moss)舉行的聚會上,以及一個臭名昭著,名流四海的撲克黑幫的到來,澳大利亞歌手傑森·多諾萬(Jason Donovan)的服藥過量也影響了電影《莫莉的遊戲》(Molly’s Game)。

Morphosis將在建築中實施多種被動和主動設計策略,以實現“能源與環境設計(LEED)領導力”金獎。

該公司打算在建築物的外部使用大量的植物,高性能玻璃和絕緣外牆,以最大程度地減少能源消耗。建築物內部的空間也將被設計為利用自然通風並減少直接的太陽輻射。

“These landscaped areas reduce heat and energy loads, act as a buffer for rainwater management, and create natural habitats for local fauna, while providing health benefits to the building inhabitants by reducing air and noise pollution and providing a connection to nature in an urban environment,” the firm said.

Morphosis is working with local real estate developer Silver Creek Commercial Development to realise 8850 Sunset, with construction scheduled to begin in 2021.

The firm, which Mayne founded in 1972, has offices in Los Angeles, New York, Shanghai, and Seoul. Its other projects proposed for California include the Korean American National Museum in Los Angeles and an art museum in Costa Mesa.

8850 Sunset follows other new constructions on the West Hollywood street, including five mixed-use buildings by Frank Gehry, which involved the demolition of a mid-century-modern bank by architect Kurt Meyer.

“這些綠化區減少了熱量和能量負荷,充當了雨水管理的緩衝,並為當地動物創造了自然棲息地,同時通過減少空氣和噪音污染並在城市環境中與自然環境相連接,為建築居民提供健康益處 ,”該公司說。

Morphosis正在與當地房地產開發商Silver Creek Commercial Development合作,實現8850 Sunset的建設,該建築計劃於2021年開始。

該公司由梅恩(Mayne)於1972年創立,在洛杉磯,紐約,上海和漢城設有辦事處。 它為加利福尼亞提出的其他項目包括位於洛杉磯的韓裔美國國家博物館和位於科斯塔梅薩的藝術博物館。

8850 Sunset緊隨西好萊塢大街上的其他新建築,包括弗蘭克·蓋里(Frank Gehry)的五棟多功能建築,其中涉及建築師Kurt Meyer拆除的一座中世紀現代銀行。
