WeHo church restoration project could add 25 apartments and creative offices

lie in

And 7866 Fountain Avenue, a new apartment building with 25 units will be added, including outdoor facilities and underground parking, to improve these two areas. The creative office will be housed in the restored church, and the landscaped courtyard will connect the two buildings.

The existing two-story wooden structure will be demolished to make room for a five-story apartment building.

. The unit breakdown will include 16 studios and 9 one-bedroom apartments, including four affordable units reserved for very low- and middle-income families. A two-story underground garage will accommodate 13 residential parking spaces and 27 commercial parking spaces reserved for office workers.

Along the crowded Fountain Avenue, there will be a carpool waiting area with benches, and the residential lobby will be next to the courtyard at the back of the building. The linear courtyard is equipped with green walls, stone pavers, built-in benches and tables, which can be used by apartment residents and office workers.

The fourth floor will provide residents with an additional outdoor convenience facility. This west-facing outdoor terrace will have an artificial turf lawn, lounge chairs, stove, barbecue and dining table. Each unit will contain a private outdoor deck of approximately 100 square feet.

The architect proposed stucco, standing seam metal, die-cast concrete and Brazilian mahogany as exterior walls, but the design review subcommittee pointed out that it wanted to see "natural and healthy material finishes."

Steel exterior stairs with perforated metal railings will complement the stairs surrounding the outdoor space of each unit. The vertical "green screen" and the lighting of the green walls and LED strips on the ground will help improve the external environment.

At the same time, this former church will undergo internal and external renovations, dressed in fresh white paint, stained glass windows decorated in dark colors, and surrounded by greenery. There are two stories inside, each floor has a creative office space, and each kitchen has a communal kitchen.
