#33 // Andalucia Apartments

A warm Sunday morning walk along the Sunset Strip took me into the quaint suburbs of West Hollywood (now known as WeHo!). Havenhurst Drive was just gorgeous and this historic courtyard apartment building with its tiled roofs, arty fountains and cute garage doors, fits right in to the leafy street. This set of apartments is famous for setting the stage for the courtyard housing type in LA, making the most of the bountiful climate, communal gardens and a level of craftsmanship / individuality.

In addition to the Sunset Hotel and tiny office building by Schindler, that were impossible to photograph with the bright sun, some other sites include; the infamous Mirabelle restaurant, P-A-T-T-E-R-N-S (Marcelo Spina – SCI-Arc faculty) Prism Gallery’s plastic facade and the looming Chateau Marmont.
