A RC H I T E C TU R E : THE SOUTH BAY RE INVENT S IT S E L F
DOWNTOWN L.A. HAS ITS SOARING LOFTS, PASADENA ITS STATELY MANSIONS. HOLLYWOOD IS AN UNAPOLOGETIC MASH-UP OF BUNGALOWS, MID-CENTURY KITSCH APARTMENT BUILDINGS.
AND CHATEAU-STYLE IN THE SOUTH BAY, THE
BUILDING LANDSCAPE IS NOT EASILY DEFINED. HOWEVER, AN ARCHITECTURAL RENAISSANCE IS SWEEPING OVER THE
BEACH CITIES,
HERALDING A NEW ERA OF STYLE AND AESTHETIC IDENTITY.
