Herzog & de Meuron in the Arts District; OMA in Santa Monica At the intersection of Alameda and 6th Streets in the Arts District, the Irvine-based developer SunCal has plans for a combination of office, live-work and retail space, on a site the size of 11 football fields. The Swiss architecture firm of Herzog & de Meuron is proposing an alternative to car-centric LA -- a high and low-rise combination of work, home and shopping. Meanwhile, in Santa Monica OMA has designed a hotel, residential and office complex for a "superblock" at 4th and Arizona. Will these projects take LA into the future or meet resistance to their height and density?
