The hospitality quarter comprising of The Ritz Carlton, and the JW Marriott and Convention Center forms the heart of LA Live entertainment district at DTLA.
The Tower design of the JW Marriot Hotel and Ritz Carlton Hotel and residences gets its unique form from the program of the project. The residences are at the top of the tower and warrant more area so the tower gently grows to accommodate this functionality.
The variegated skin is designed to create a bold and singular aesthetic for the tower, gracefully adapting to the the varied requirements of the residences and hotel spaces housed within.
The project design creates an icon for downtown LA and a worthy anchor for the LA live development.
