Los Angeles, rebuilt as a tower. Oversized balconies, glass that slides away entirely, and a private amenity stack for a deliberately small number of residents. 28 Storeys464 sqm LotBKK1, Phnom PenhDesigned 2022 [See the Residences](#residences)[The Private Floors](#amenities) Delivered Architectural Design & MassingUnit Layout Design, Studio to PenthouseAmenity Floor DesignFull Visualization SuiteSales Gallery Assets The Brief ## Bring Los Angeles to BKK1. The reference was never another Phnom Penh condominium. It was Los Angeles: the low, easy indoor-outdoor living of Manhattan Beach, and the creative confidence of Melrose, where a building is allowed to have a point of view. That meant refusing the two habits that shape most towers in the district. LA Residence does not maximize unit count, and it does not treat the balcony as a ledge. On a 464 square meter lot across 28 storeys, the plan holds a deliberately small number of residences, each one given a balcony deep enough to actually live on. The massing follows from that decision. Balconies push and pull floor by floor rather than stacking flush, so the tower reads as a set of individual homes rather than a repeated slab, and every residence gets open sky above its terrace instead of the underside of the one above. Fewer units, larger outdoor rooms, and amenities that belong to the people who live there. Private Amenities ## Six floors, residents only. Nothing in this building is a public venue. The wine bar, the theater, the gym, the golf simulator, and the rooftop are not leased to operators and not open to the street. They are private rooms for a small number of households, which is the entire reason they stay usable.

The sky bar render beside drone footage flown at the tower's own rooftop height, so the view in the visualization can be checked against the one residents actually get.

The beach-house idea only works if the glass actually disappears. Every residence runs floor to ceiling sliding panels that stack away, so the living room and the balcony become one room. [image: LA Residence, stacked balcony tiers stepping across the facade] [image: LA Residence interior, double-height sliding glass opening the living space to the terrace] ### A balcony you can host on Depth enough for a table, a grill, and the people around them. The terrace is sized as an outdoor room, not a fire escape with a view. ### Glass that stacks away Floor to ceiling sliding panels along the living wall. Open, and the boundary between inside and outside stops existing. ### Light from two sides The offset balcony rhythm keeps the slab above from capping each terrace, so daylight reaches deep into the plan. The Residences ## Five plans, floors 5 to 27. One bedroom through to a full-floor penthouse. Step through each layout with the arrows.
