4200 Anaheim Street
The corner of Anaheim and Roswell is a perfect example of an urban and high population density area of Long Beach. In this context, the designer wanted to make a statement as to what constitutes a living in a modern city, a place of happening, speed, ideas, and mobility.
The main goal of the design is to create a unique, interesting, and memorable architectural expression. The shapes, pop-outs, recessions, generous balconies, angles of walls, and roof lines bring vibration and break the horizontal massing of the building. The materials are contemporary, with smooth stucco and metal siding. Modern aesthetics and design is applied to the stucco walls with a line of screeds. The contemporary accent colors are fit for the urban feeling of street mixed with the Southern Californian sunny climate.
