OliveDTLA reflects the rapidly transforming Los Angeles South Park neighborhood. The design was inspired by the neighborhood’s shift from commercial to mixed use. At the corner plaza, intersecting architectures reflect two of the area’s existing block building typologies. The narrow facade mimics the exposed side of the neighborhood’s commercial buildings, with random patterns of various-sized windows. The long facade reflects the existing historical commercial front façade’s patterning and repetition, albeit with contemporary materials and residential detailing. Through these juxtapositions, OliveDTLA remains authentic contextual and contributes to an exciting new community. Compact unit plans reduce the price point for studios, one and two-bedrooms; reflect the nature of urban living; and have easy access to a wealth of onsite and DTLA amenities.
