The concept for the design of Hanover Sepulveda is inspired by the natural topography of the site, dramatic and hidden from the bustling boulevard that defines busy Los Angeles city life.  The long linear site translates into a project that is simple yet challenging at the same time. Site constraints and extreme topography posed challenges of access and building configuration.  Special unit designs were employed to achieve high building efficiencies.  Circulation and fire access requirements demanded the need for a concise arrival sequence, complete with a guest drop-off and turnaround area to meet current trends of transportation. The narrow street frontage allowed an opportunity to focus quality design on the limited front façade.  The horizontal emphasis of lines and planes in the front elevation represent notions of stepped terraces, which define individual retreats for each dwelling unit.  The ultimate oasis, in the form of a unique amenity deck, is tucked to the rear of the building, reserved for discovery by the residents.  Natural material finishes, such as stone veneer and wood-toned siding, help to reinforce the ideas of capturing a sense of nature within the project.
