A sculptural Downtown Los Angeles tower forges ahead
A 43-story tower designed by Australian firm Toichi Takada Architects proposed for a site in Downtown Los Angeles has gotten a new look and an updated set of uses. Initiated by Australian developers Crown Group, the glass-wrapped tower features a domed top with a crown decorated in tree-studded terraces. The Los Angeles Times reports that the project has been redesigned to include a mix of residential and hotel units, a shift from what initially proposed as an all-residential development several years ago.

It will feature a 160-room hotel, as well as 319 condominiums. The base of the tower is marked by a multi-story parking podium wrapped in vertical panels. These areas, as well as the building's rooftop terraces, are shown covered in greenery in renderings for the project. Rendering showing the tower's ground floor canopy. Image...
