JW Marriott Hotel and Conference Center Expansion
Company: Gensler Project Type: Hospitality Construction Type: New Construction and Expansion Description: This project is an expansion to the existing JW Marriott Hotel and Conference Center at LA Live in downtown Los Angeles. The project consists of a hotel tower that adds 850 keys to the existing hotel and a 50,000 sf ballroom. Drawing inspiration from the marquees that both defined old Hollywood and currently light up the LA Live campus, the project conceptually positions itself as "the new marquee" for the entertainment district at large. My role: I joined this project in sd and continued through dd and ve phases before it went on pause due to the covid pandemic. I helped design the highway facing facade and rooftop pooldeck and running track, managed the production of city planning documents, and worked on documentation for the exterior facade.
