The Harland brings modern infill with expansive views and a kebony-accented façade, with panoramic views of the Hollywood Hills, Century City and the downtown LA skyline.
This innovative project embraces fluidity between indoor and outdoor living, and is located on the border of West Hollywood and Beverly Hills.
The Harland is comprised of 37 condominiums and townhouse residences with expansive outdoor terraces made with layered spaces around a communal interior courtyard and an iconic, undulating facade along Doheny Drive. The building is split into two zones, rising four stories along the west and three stories within the predominately low-rise neighborhood to the east. Together, the zones wrap the building’s internal courtyard, with the alternating eastern units set-in from the property line to bring light from three sides.
We like to use natural finishes wherever we can.
And we particularly like the low maintenance and naturally occurring patina of Kebony, which complements the stucco. There’s something poetic about it.
Christian Robert, OFFICEUNTITLED principal and architectDesigned by Culver City-based architectural firm OFFICEUNTITLED, with interiors by Marmol Radziner, each residence features custom cabinetry, storage and detailing with floor-to-ceiling glass and rooms that open out onto outdoor terraces.
Augmenting the project’s stucco façade are bronze metal screens, and Kebony modified wood louvres and vertical privacy screens. Kebony was also specified as decking for the outdoor environments.
The building includes one, two, and three-bedroom flats, penthouses and three-bedroom townhouses that range in size between 1,500 and 3,100 square feet.
The townhouses feature a double-height great room with expansive ceiling heights, while penthouse residences include expansive rooftop terraces featuring shaded pergolas, integrated planters, outdoor kitchens and Kebony wood decking.
Developed in Norway, Kebony’s revolutionary technology is an environmentally friendly and patented process which modifies sustainably sourced softwoods by heating the wood with furfuryl alcohol - an agricultural by-product. By polymerising the wood’s cell wall, the softwoods permanently take on the attributes of tropical hardwood including high durability, hardness and dimensional stability. This unique process also provides Kebony with its characteristic appearance, which only grows more beautiful with time. The result is a project that reinterprets the energy of West Hollywood, Beverly Hills and the urban fabric.
