The Jagger
By Hopson Rodstrom Design
On a rapidly changing West Los Angeles thoroughfare, this 74 unit mixed-use apartment building carves a deep courtyard oasis into a bold and striking outline. Wrapped in a monolithic and relentless perforated pattern of windows and topped with warehouse-inspired sawtooth roof, the building seeks to embrace the scale of Transit-Oriented Community zoning along major boulevards, while maintaining a human-scaled sidewalk presence, a variety of common open spaces at multiple levels, and an active and vibrant play of circulation and life both communal and individual.
