The Design

About The Rossmore Wohngebäude

Das Rossmore ist ein Wohn- und Apartmentgebäude, das für Hancock Park in Los Angeles entworfen wurde. Das Gebäude umfasst zwölf Geschosse, achtundsechzig Wohneinheiten und eine Gesamtfläche von 9.290 Quadratmetern sowie zwei Tiefgaragenebenen. Für Decken, Wände und Dach werden Brettsperrholzplatten eingesetzt, wodurch The Rossmore zu einem der ersten Apartmentgebäude in Holzbauweise mittlerer Hochhaushöhe in der Stadt wird. Hochleistungsbetonfertigteile mit skulpturalen Elementen bilden die Fassaden. Der Entwurf folgt den Art-déco-Prinzipien, die in der umliegenden Nachbarschaft zu finden sind.

Production Technology: CLT Technology (Cross Laminated Timber Construction)

Applications for CLT include floors, walls, and roofing. The panels’ ability to resist high racking and compressive forces makes them especially cost-effective for multistory and long-span diaphragm applications.
Design Challenge: The most challenging aspect of this project was maintaining the historical connection to the surrounding area. Given that the neighborhood was built in an era of Art deco construction materials, the intention to maintain aspects of conventional design was paramount. The process involved paying homage to a neighborhood known for its bygone Hollywood charm; while simultaneously creating a landmark building environment that is visually stunning and sets precedence for a new age of cinematic luxury.
Research: Research for the Rossmore project borrowed from the cultural history of its location, known for Hollywood Royalty, as well as the economic history that gives rise to the Art Deco movement - prevalent in the neighborhood. This meant utilizing construction methods that are cost-effective while providing elegant and luxurious details in design. Balancing an intricate interplay of form and function. At its core, the Rossmore is a conventional building with elaborate curved facade ornamentation.
Inspiration: The Rossmore is a full-service high-end apartment building that reimagines the intersectionality between contemporary design and art deco charm. Inspired by today's material science, sculptural design, and art scene, the building envelope was developed to follow the guiding principles of Art Deco. The Rossmore is set to utilize high-performance concrete cladding panels with sculptural elements for the facades, while being one of the first massive timber mid-high-rise apartment buildings in Los Angeles, answering the need for sustainable design and construction.
