PROJECT: CHEROKEE LOFTS |
BUILT DATE: 2010
COMMENTS: CHEROKEE IS THE FIRST
LEED BUILDING IN THE HOLLYWOOD AREA AND IS THE FIRST LEED
PLATINUM MIXED-USE MULTIFAMILY BUILDING IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
MATERIAL/PRODUCTS:
The main exterior building material
is integral-color plaster. The stairways and balconies are painted steel with
wire mesh railings. The windows are anodized aluminum.

Bench made of reclaimed salvaged cedar wood. Tung oil is used for the
finish.
The layout of each unit is efficient, with built-in elements set to one
side, leaving room for circulation on the other. This allows for ample cross-ventilation
and natural light to reach the ends of the unit.
The graphics of the kitchen
backsplash tiles came from skateboard deck, which is very unique.
Water Conservation is accomplished with dual flush toilets, efficient
plumbing fixtures, hot water circulators.
The interior
finishes of each unit are unique, created by a different interior designer.
However, Green Materials
and Products are used throughout the room that are recycled, renewable, and
contain low or no VOC's.
Looking though the
project, I noticed that
is not just about green design it is also about sophistication and modernity
.It provides a cozy and confortable atmosphere.

I love these lofts... they look like they would be a really great place to live, or even visit!
The idea of the perforated anodized panels is so interesting. And I love the upholstered pillow on the sofa, the fabric is so pretty.
Super sophisticated but industrial at the same time. My favorite is the repurposed skate deck backsplash, so cool! Though I must say having lived in a loft before it is not "comfy" enough for my personal taste. More textiles and soft surfaces would have probably fixed that for me...If I had a friend living here I wouldn't oppose to visiting!
Great architectural design! Modern and simple. if I had to live in a building this would definitely be a wonderful choice. great pick!
The design looks simple and clean, nice architecture.I like the flashback wall idea. Overall is good design. ;)
