Dwell on Design Urban Home Tour @ the Douglas building
The Dwell on Design urban living tour will celebrate downtown’s renaissance on Sunday June 8th from 10 am to 4 pm, showing the best adaptive reuse and new multi-family buildings of the area.
The tour will feature some unique residences in the re-awakened downtown including Goodwin Gaw’s (developer of the Rowan) loft, located in the Douglas Building in the Old Bank District.
Built in 1898, the Douglas Building is one of the few remaining vestiges of Los Angeles’ 19th century architectural treasures. Its recent transformation into modern residential lofts is the work of Rockefeller Architects, an LA based firm. Team HC, best known for the renovation of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, designed Goodwin Gaw’s loft with a streamlined aesthetic and Asian accents.
