Located in the Golden Triangle area of Beverly Hills, 9420 Wilshire Boulevard represents the renovation of two 1960s buildings into a Class A property for building owner, Harwood International. The renovation takes its cues from the prominent location along Wilshire Boulevard, a major vehicular thoroughfare, and the surrounding Beverly Hills retail district. A transparent glass curtainwall has replaced the existing concrete and glass exterior enclosure, creating a sophisticated elevation that is consistent with nearby storefronts yet acknowledges the property’s history by revealing the original structure. From the sidewalk perspective, views into the building lobby are carefully choreographed and an 80-foot glass canopy clearly defines the entrance to the luxuriously-appointed lobby. |
