Los Angeles architects AXIS/GFA adds to its Los Angeles and North Hollywood hotel design portfolio.

AXIS/GFA is proud to announce that our North Hollywood Hotel Project has received City Council approval. More impressively, the Los Angeles City Planning Commission’s approval for the project was unanimous, and was provided without any substantive requests for changes to the design – a testament to the high quality project design and its effectiveness integrating the building into the unique surrounding NoHo Arts District.

A mixed-use hotel and retail development on behalf of Napa Industries, LLC. announced on our blog last year, AXIS/GFA’s Los Angeles studio’s design of the yet-to-be-flagged hotel in North Hollywood incorporates a significant seven-story design that will add over 9,000 square feet of ground floor retail and restaurant space to NoHo’s increasingly trendy Arts District along the Lankershim thoroughfare.

A technically challenging architectural project featuring an L-shaped footprint to make the most of three irregularly-shaped and previously underutilized lots, AXIS/GFA’s design for the property will feature 171 guestrooms atop two floors of mixed-use commercial space. From the exterior, the commercial space will be unmistakably delineated through the use of two-story glass façades rising from the sidewalk up to the base of the third floor. These glass-enclosed spaces will feature at least one gallery, and seek to connect the new building’s interior spaces with the surrounding arts community. For the hotel on the floors above, a unique fenestration program will see an organized yet whimsical use of windows to create an engaging texture to the building. Crowning the building, and likely to become a destination unto itself, a rooftop pool and deck will add an irresistible amenity to the hotel’s offering.
