Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects created this [multi-family home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goldsmith-mews) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-comunidad-habitacional) at its best.

European cities have long preferred closeness to grass yards, and new urbanism is once again promoting social ties and community building (at the expense of a three-car garage).
