Designed to handle nearly 46\,000 daily boardings\, the ~500\,000-square-foot facility seamlessly connects Metro’s C and K Lines\, a 16-bay bus plaza\, and a bike hub\, while also linking to Los Angeles World Airports’ (LAWA) future Automated People Mover—providing airport access without relying on a car. \nTour Led by: \nJanet Yoon\, AIA\, LEED AP\, Associate Principal\, Grimshaw \nJanet Yoon\, AIA\, LEED AP is an Associate Principal at Grimshaw’s Los Angeles Studio\, where she leads complex\, high-performance projects that reflect the firm’s commitment to innovation\, sustainability\, and human-centered design.

Participants will gain insight into the conceptual design approach for the project through an overview of the site and project goals; understand how functional requirements\, including multimodal connections\, informed the design approach; and explore the design intent behind the flowing canopy and sculptural roof forms. \n2. Participants will discuss material choices\, structural approach\, and architectural detailing; review the use of exposed steel\, glass\, concrete\, and cladding materials; explore structural strategies\, including long-span canopies and column placement; and observe detailing in roof connections\, glazing systems\, and finishes. \n3. Participants will explore integration with the urban and transportation context; understand connections to LAX terminals\, busways\, and regional rail; examine pedestrian and bicycle circulation\, drop-off zones\, and overall site planning; and evaluate how the design responds to and enhances the surrounding urban fabric. \n4. Participants will evaluate spatial experience\, circulation\, and user-focused design; observe natural light\, sightlines\, and intuitive wayfinding as they walk through concourse and platform areas; discuss passenger and cyclist flow\, accessibility\, and comfort within public spaces; and identify signature aesthetic features such as canopy geometry and public seating. \n• Q&A \n\nParking\nWe encourage visitors to use public transportation to access the site. Limited street parking may be available nearby. \nMeet Up Spot\nMeet your tour leaders under the large LAX/Metro Transit Center signage.  Visitors arriving by Metro can look for the hanging art installation from the Metro Hub when exiting the station towards the right.

SUMMARY:ARCH TOUR FEST: Sargent House and ADU
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: Ye Rin Mok \nARCH TOUR FEST: Sargent House and ADU\nThis project is a new construction house and attached ADU. The programing/siting of building is carefully designed to provide both houses with natural light\, privacy and dignity. Main house has a formal entry where you take shoes off (in Japanese it’s called ‘Genkan’ space). The house is both open and very cozy because of the material choices\, ceiling height/angles\, circulation and views from each space. We believe this is a great model for sensitive luxury home which is modest in size and thoughtfully designed. \nTour Led By: \nBo Sundius\, AIA\, Bunch Design principal \nHisako Ichiki\, Bunch Design principal \n\nArchitect: Bunch Design\n\nBuilding Credits:\nContractor: Lightning Construction\nStructural Engineer: Craig Phillips Engineering and Design\nFurnishing: Warkentin Associates \nAIA CES: 1.5 LU Approved \nLearning Objectives\nAnalyze how building massing and site placement contribute to privacy\, light access\, and a sense of dignity for both the primary residence and ADU. \nIdentify how recent ADU code requirements were implemented to achieve functional and aesthetic integration between the two dwellings. \nEvaluate strategies for maximizing natural light and ventilation in a compact residential design. \nAssess how material selection enhances spatial warmth\, comfort\, and design cohesion. \nObserve and discuss how lighting design supports both functional needs and the home’s intimate\, welcoming atmosphere. \nExpress the value of multi-generational\, or communal living with regard to providing housing and promoting denser living arrangements.
