SUMMARY:ARCH TOUR FEST: Sheats Goldstein - Tour 1
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: Jeff Green Photography \nARCH TOUR FEST: The Goldstein Estate – Tour 1 @ 12:00 pm\n(aka The Sheats-Goldstein Residence and Club James)\nInformation regarding the tour will be emailed directly to registrants 24 hours before the event. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nTour Led by:\n \nKristopher Conner\, AIA\, NCARB\, and James Perry\, NCARB\, of Conner & Perry Architects\, Inc. \nTour Organizers:\nConner & Perry Architects\, Inc.\nThe Goldstein Estate is home to the iconic Sheats-Goldstein Residence (1963) by John Lautner. Originally constructed for the Sheats family in the early 1960’s\, the house was purchased by James Goldstein in 1972 and he enlisted Lautner to embark on a series of renovations and improvements to “perfect” the home\, until the architect’s passing in 1994. At that time there were schematic designs in place for adjacent entertainment facilities\, including a tennis court\, guest house\, and garage/maid’s quarters. Lautner protege\, Duncan Nicholson\, took over the renovations to the home and continued to develop the designs for the entertainment facilities as well as the construction of the James Turrell Skyspace\, “Above Horizon.” During this time\, the program for the new facilities grew to include a home theater\, private nightclub\, library\, offices\, dining terrace\, and lap pool. \nNicholson’s untimely death in 2015 led project architects Kristopher Conner and James Perry to form Conner & Perry Architects\, who now serve as the architect of record for the property. Conner and Perry continue to oversee construction and develop designs with the owner\, Jim Goldstein\, for the lower terrace\, home theater\, and guest house portions of project\, as well as overseeing maintenance and restoration efforts for the original residence. This property is a cultural mainstay of Los Angeles\, featured in many motion pictures\, fashion\, and editorial photography\, and has been bequeathed to LACMA by Goldstein so that it may remain accessible to the public to inspire future generations of designers and enthusiasts. \nRead more about the residence and Conner & Perry Architects’ contribution in the recent Architect’s Newspaper story (here). \nBuilding Credits: \nCurrent Architect: Conner & Perry Architects\, Inc.\nPast Architect: Nicholson Architects\nOriginal Architect: Lautner Associates (John Lautner\, FAIA)\nClient/Homeowner: James F.

SUMMARY:ARCH TOUR FEST: Santa Monica Vermont Apartments
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: Eric Staudenmaier; KoningEizenberg Architecture; Paul Vu\, Here and Now Agency \nARCH TOUR FEST: Santa Monica Vermont Apartments\nThe Santa Monica Vermont Apartments in East Hollywood is a high-density\, mixed-use affordable housing development located at a Metro station. \nThis project transforms a complex site by wrapping the rail station\, integrating housing\, retail\, and a food hall to create a vibrant community hub. Conforming to the LA City Station Neighborhood Area Plan\, it frames the existing plaza as an active public and resident outdoor space\, leveraging density to support the transit-oriented location. \nThe development includes 187 affordable units ranging from studios to three-bedrooms. Distributed resident amenities and cascading planting are designed to foster social interaction\, encourage an active lifestyle\, and improve public safety. \nThe building prioritizes sustainability\, with projected energy use 25% below code and onsite renewable energy providing 33% of the overall energy. Its design\, featuring breeze blocks\, sunshades\, and colorful details\, draws from local vernacular architecture\, proposing a forward-thinking vision for mid-rise housing in Los Angeles. \nTour Led by:\n  \nBrian Lane\, FAIA – Partner\, KoningEizenberg Architecture \nBrian Lane\, FAIA uses his keen eye for detail and focus on what it is to be a good neighbor to raise the bar on expectations for community architecture. Brian fuses practical knowledge of design and constructibility to anchor experimentation across a range of budgets. He draws upon planning knowledge and strong visualization skills to assist cities and agencies across the LA region in the evaluation of guidelines and regulations\, particularly in relation to housing. He is frequently called upon to share his expertise in community forums and public programs\, and is a member of the Hollywood Sign Board of Trustees and the AIA|LA Board of Directors. \n  \nArchitect: KoningEizenberg Architecture\nBuilding Credits:\nContractor: Walton Construction\nLandscape: RELM\nCivil: KPFF\nStructural: Labib Funk + Associates\nMEP: Coffman Engineers\nEnergy: Stok\nLEED: Green Dinosaur\nCode/FLS: Holmes Fire\nLighting: Oculus\nAcoustics: Veneklasen\nCASp: Greg Izor\nPermitting: Pardo\nDry Utility: DUEX\nFood Service: IRC\nShoring: Labib Funk + Associates\nSolar: Solargy\nWaterproofing: Intertek\nSpecifications: David Woo\nFacade: Access Lerch Bates\nEnv. Graphics: Newgo \n  \nAIA CES: 1.0 LU|HSW\nLearning Objectives:\n1. Participants will assess how mixed-use affordable housing is planned and operated (in this case\, to conform with funding requirements\, the LA City Station Neighborhood Area Plan\, and to meet intersecting requirements of Fire\, Building & Safety\, USPS\, and Accessibility authorities). \n2. Participants will critically evaluate the role of communal spaces for wellbeing in affordable housing\, including indoor and outdoor amenities ranging from shared laundry rooms and kids play areas to barbeque courts and podium gardens. \n3. Participants will gain insight into Metro priorities and areas of concern relative to the Transit Oriented Development program and Joint Development of underutilized city and county property for affordable housing\, including as part of the 10K Homes program. \n4. Participants will identify sustainable strategies transferable to other dense urban sites – including daylighting\, accessibility\, and energy efficiency at this LEED Gold project. \n  \nParking\nParking in the neighborhood is limited. Transit\, carpool\, and/or car share are encouraged.
