1100 WILSHIRE

TCA Architect - Oct 10, 2016

The 22-story triangular spire in Los Angeles sat virtually vacant for nearly 20 years before a trio of developers bought it in 2004. Previously comprised of office suites, TCA converted the building into 228 high-end condominiums totaling 260,000 square feet of residential living space. Floor plans range from 788 to 3,466 square feet of one and two bedroom floor plans or two-story loft-style penthouses. The major challenge was rerouting the plumbing systems as the entire 37 stories of the building needed to be re-cored to accommodate each unit.

SAN JOSE TRIBUTE

TCA Architect - Jan 07, 2016

In the city of San Jose a new 280 key hotel tower is planned for the property immediately adjacent to the former Montgomery Hotel, now operating as a Four Points by Sheraton hotel – a Starwood brand. The Montgomery, built in 1911, in the Italianate Commercial style, is on the National Register of Historic Places. The designers were challenged to integrate the hotel functions with the new tower while preserving and enhancing the historic value of the existing building. The new tower will rise adjacent to the historic building, defining a tall slender atrium space, and then cantilever out over the historic structure beginning on the 7th level. The new hotel is expressed in a modern style with floor to ceiling curtainwall glazing. A rooftop pool terrace, events pavilion and fitness club compliments the hotel program.
