Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects created this multi-family home in the neighborhood of West Hollywood, an area certainly not wanting of luxury and modern architecture. Lorcan O’Herlihy sees a movement of new urbanism in the area, and the building at 1050 Gardner is a great example of shared living at its best.
