The proposed project from applicant SC Club Owner, LLC, slated for a property located at 840-854 N. Hilldale Avenue, calls for the construction of a new three-story building featuring 10 residential units - including six affordable units and four rent-controlled market-rate units - atop a parking garage for 10 vehicles. The new construction would be accompanied by the new construction of a new swimming pool and amenity deck for use by the neighboring San Vicente Bungalows, which is owned by the same entity.

Good Project Company is designing the new building, with L.Z. Design Group serving as landscape architect. Plans show a contemporary three-story structure with a mix of one- and two-bedroom floor plans.

"The proposed apartment building’s façade features a 'brise soleil, a structural element designed to house balconies and communal open spaces on the second and third levels," stats a staff report to the Design Review Subcommittee. "This design not only modulates the building's scale but also provides shading and reduces solar gain, contributing to the overall sustainability strategy. Sliding doors on the front façade connect living spaces to these balconies, visually and physically extending the interior while enhancing cross-ventilation through double-hung windows on the rear elevation."

The committee hearing is intended to solicit feedback on the design concept in advance of a full hearing for the project before the West Hollywood Planning Commission.
