OVERVIEW
As its namesake implies, Metropolis in downtown Los Angeles is one of the largest mixed use developments in California. Completed in July 2016, the first phase includes a 38-floor condominium tower. The second phase consists of a 42-floor condominium tower and a 60-floor residential skyscraper, and became ready for occupancy in 2018.
To guide LA Metropolis’s interior aesthetic, Neukomm relied on Downtown LA’s rich Art Deco history. Classic patterns and forms have been reinterpreted and modernized in the project’s key architectural features and custom furniture pieces. Bridging the gap between the existing neighborhood’s historical context and the emergent downtown renaissance was crucial in creating a rooted sense of place for this internationally-minded project.
