G12 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. G12’s narrow facade mimics the exposed side of the neighborhood’s commercial buildings, with random patterns of various-sized windows. At the corner plaza, contrasting materials of grey aluminum panels and white cement panels reinforce the notion of intersecting architectures. This intersection also contributes to a reduction in scale consistent with the neighborhood. An atrium space links the second-floor courtyards with a hotel-like entry lobby, providing natural light and landscaping, which terraces down the volume into the first floor. A double-height, concrete-framed second floor accommodates mezzanine units with generous views towards the courtyards and outdoor amenity spaces. A top-floor sunning deck with a sculptural frame provides dramatic city views.
