Gardner 1050 by Lorcan O’Herlihy
Gardner 1050 is a 10 unit residence designed by Lorcan O’Herlihy, AIA. This residence is a result of a series of studies into how various housing typologies could be re-invigorated to create new opportunities for living within the extremely tight economic and special parameters of the speculative housing market. Custom bathrooms, commercial museum Mechoshades, Phillipe Starck fixtures, Viking stainless steel appliances,recessed lighting, sable walnut flooring, 10′ ceilings, custom smoothed wall finishes, and two attached balconies of approx. 400 sq ft complete this residence.
The primary materials consist of a painted cement board cladding system in 4-foot-wide panels; a system of horizontal cedar wood slats; translucent channel glass panels; and painted aluminum window frame projections in three colors. The horizontal wood slats encompass the entire second floor. Wood elements on the first and third levels help to break up the scale and create an integrated palette.
Gardner 1050 has garnered an AIA/LA Honor Award, a 2006 American Architecture Award, and a Westside Urban Forum Award.

er, with appointments like that - I would suspect the economic constraints are not soooo tight. Last time I looked, Viking equipment cost more than my car.
