WS Communities has been given approval by the Santa Monica Architectural Review Board for 1430 Lincoln Boulevard, a five-story 67.4k sf mixed-use project in Santa Monica. The development will replace a surface parking lot just south of Santa Monica Blvd.
Designed by STUDIO T-SQUARE 2 (Studio T-SQ2), 1430 Lincoln Boulevard will consist of 5.9k sf of ground floor commercial space, 100 residential units, roof terrace, gym, spa, and a four-level subterranean parking garage. Groundbreaking is anticipated for spring 2020.
Discussing the design of the project, Studio T-SQ2 principal Henry Tong, AIA, commented, “The building massing is inspired by the works of Bauhaus architects in the early 20th century. We used strong, simple forms to delineate between the living units (brick material) and the circulation/balcony (wood screen). This created a unified architectural language for the building, and a simple material palette to blend in with the existing urban fabric of Santa Monica.”
“We also designed a large central plaza as a public amenity for the city, with a transparent glazed wall system that looks into an open courtyard/outdoor room, creating a lively pedestrian experience. Overlooking this plaza is a large, highly amenitized roof deck, which is visually tied to the plaza. The units are designed to accommodate as much natural light and ventilation as possible,” Tong says.
