Project-team contributions on the Ritz-Carlton and JW Marriott complex within the larger L.A. LIVE district. Combined hotel, multi-screen cinema, and convention-center programming carried from schematic design into design development. The personal scope spanned SD and DD, including mark-up sets and consultant coordination across structural, MEP, and interiors, with early-phase visualization studies that set the project’s design vocabulary.
The project taught the documentation rigor that European studios assume and American practice has to learn one drawing set at a time.
