Architects Hadrian Predock and John Frane have fused new urban living with Hollywood fancy: In jazz-like randomness window placement dances across the front facade like so many flat-screens paying homage to Tinseltown. Inside fifteen two-bedroom homes of two and three levels lie within two parallel, elongated blocks separated by an interior court of trees and a 40' green privacy wall. The blocks connect via steel pedestrian bridges. Some units have 2-story spaces with 9-18' with ceilings and views of the Hollywood Hills. Complete and ready for occupancy.
Underground parking available.

Predock_Frane Architects was established by Hadrian Predock and John Frane in the year 2000 as a collaborative research and development design studio. The work of their practice ranges from small scale installations to large public venues. Seeking to open new territories for locality and specificity, they utilize a process of "generative repetition" - a methodology that focuses on mapping specific existing morphologies, actions, systems, and material conditions, then generating and forecasting new architectural results based upon their findings.
Predock_Frane was named one of ten emerging architectural firms by Architectural Record, and in 2005, as one of six emerging international firms by the Architectural League in New York. They were selected to represent the United States in the US Pavilion for the Venice Biennale, participated in the Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial - Design Life Now, and recently had exhibitions at the LA Forum Gallery in Los Angeles, and Pomona College Museum of Art.
