The office component features expansive floorplates designed for maximum flexibility. It incorporates terraces on each level, giving every workspace direct access to the outdoors. The folded form of the residential building opens optimal views across the city and presents an uninterrupted southern exposure for an expansive pool deck facing the Baldwin Hills. At the heart of the project, the architecture carefully steps down to highlight its signature open space—Cienega Square—creating the memorable image of two hills around a central valley. The office building encourages movement and a sustainable lifestyle with a diversity of wellness-focused amenities including a secure bike room, fitness center with access to the outdoors, and hospitality-focused end-of-trip facilities. 

Habitat incorporates sustainability initiatives, targeting LEED Gold for the residences and LEED Platinum for the commercial building. The project incorporates low-carbon concrete, a 100% all-electric design, and landscaping designed to ensure climate resilience and minimize resource demand. On-site stormwater treatment will minimize runoff and reduce the property’s environmental impact. In addition, the property will include 66 dedicated EV parking spots and 222 secured bike parking spaces. The result is a place that is truly Los Angeles in spirit, while being unlike anything else in the city. It looks toward a future that prioritizes connection: to nature, to people and to a more vibrant public realm.
