In this episode, Cherise is joined by Scott Johnson, FAIA, Design Partner, and James (JED) Donaldson, AIA, Partner from Johnson Fain in Los Angeles, California. They discuss the Figueroa Eight in downtown Los Angeles.
Figueroa Eight is a 41-story high-rise apartment building situated on a one-acre site that was previously a parking lot owned by Mitsui Fudosan America (MFA) since the late 1980s. Designed by Johnson Fain, the building's modernist design fits well into the city's landscape and showcases a unique double-story expression with the use of three types of glass.
