Joe Pink Designer/Project Manager: Mixed Use Retail and Residential Condominium A 23-story flat plate concrete structure with shear walls at two linked cores, this project was a first of its kind in the city of Los Angeles, with the structural design allowing the perimeter of each floor to be free of shear walls or beams allowing exterior glass window walls to be truly floor-to-ceiling. The single basement level is dedicated to retail parking while two levels of retail starting at the grade level provide flexible retail space responsive to the location – immediately adjacent to a stop on the Purple line of L.A.’s Metro. Six “live-work” units are located on the Second Level along with an Asian-inspired residential lobby. (Some of the projects on this web page were designed and managed by the principals while at other firms.)
