8th and Figueroa

Johnson Fain

Johnson Fain has completed the design of a 41-story residential tower for Mitsui Fudosan America. Situated on a prominent one acre site, the 8th & Figueroa mixed-use project enjoys a highly visible position on the western edge of downtown Los Angeles. The 424,489 square foot project includes 438 residential units and approximately 7,500 square feet of ground floor commercial spaces. A mix of studio, one and two bedroom units are provided. Six levels of parking, three subterranean and three above-ground, provide 519 parking spaces. The roof of the parking podium serves as a residential amenity level featuring a pool, fitness room, lounge, dining area, meeting and game rooms. Residential units are located on levels seven through 40 and the roof features a landscaped deck with an indoor lounge. Key sustainability measures include a high performance façade, low flow plumbing fixtures, low water demand landscape design, building materials with recycled content and a close proximity to major transit systems.. Construction is expected to commence in 2020.

Alexandra’s role in this project was to assist the team to complete their Design Development package. Another architect took over the Construction Documentation in which she assisted in any items they needed from Johnson Fain. During Construction Documentation some items including the roof design needed to be reconsidered in which she supported with drawings, Lumion, and 3D models. Alex also assisted in presentations that included Lumion work throughout the design process.
