William Penn Apartments
PrizeHonorable Mention in Interior Design / Apartments Interior
Firm LocationLos Angeles, United States
CompanyRelativity Architects
Formerly the William Penn Hotel, this renovation and restoration transformed an historic 6-story brick building near Downtown Los Angeles into a grand community of micro-apartments and large community spaces. The 1914 façade has been restored with concrete formwork and custom-made, steel frame windows. The interior design proposes a contemporary reinterpretation of the whimsy and eclecticism of early 20th century California. Color and exotic details set the mood throughout via elegant light fixtures, custom designed furniture, eclectic art and a complete restoration of the historic moldings.
