Across the street from Santa Monica Place, one block from the Third Street Promenade and one block from the future Expo Line, Luxe @ 1539 provides a dynamic gateway to the vibrant districts of downtown Santa Monica.
Distinguished by an eye-catching bris soleil to mitigate solar impact, the building presents different faces for its north and south elevations. The south side, rendered in a warm green palette, is a solid stucco mass with deep set irregular openings, providing units with spacious yet private terraces. The north side is dramatized by strong horizontal banding and floor to ceiling glazing, bringing light and air into the open plan loft units. A wide sloping landscape plane on the south side, stretching the full length of the property, offers pedestrians a surprising garden view from the busy urban street.
