HansonLA

HansonLA HansonLA’s vision is focused on balancing the client’s needs with smart urban planning in order to deliver purposeful design.

We amplify efficiency and sustainability by adding functionality and creative solutions to our projects. From a preliminary sketch to the final product, HansonLA’s priority is to respect the client’s resources and agenda while serving the community. Douglas Hanson, AIA, has over three decades of experience collaborating with some of the world’s leading architects to produce major projects in Afric

a, Asia, Europe, and North America. The initial inspiration for all of Hanson’s designs comes through in the form of a sketch. These preliminary sketches act as a map that guide the team through the design process to completion. The HansonLA team is made up of a growing number of young architects, anchored with several experienced designers and senior level staff. Our increasingly diverse team brings unique interests and backgrounds to the table, which often serve as inspiration to activate, enhance, and carry out the HansonLA vision. HansonLA’s strong principles come together to create comprehensive solutions for our clients, each showcasing conscious and meticulous design. This dedication to our vision has positioned HansonLA as a leading design firm located in Downtown Los Angeles. We welcome the opportunity and accept any challenge in renovating existing urban fabric anywhere in the world in order to define it for the future.

On June 23, the Los Angeles City Council approved the development at 1100 E. 5th Street, marking an important milestone for the continued evolution of the Arts District.

Located in the heart of Downtown LA’s Arts District, the building’s massing and façade takes cues from the neighborhood’s eclectic mix of historic industrial architecture – drawing on a rich palette of textures, materials, and forms. At street level, a network of open spaces is designed to support and enhance the area’s already vibrant, pedestrian-friendly character.

Congratulations to Maxxam enterprises and everyone involved in moving this project forward!

HSLA wishes you a Happy New Year! 🧧

The design challenge for the 1,600 sf addition to this unique single-family house built in the round was to double the size of the living space, yet make sure its mid-century simplicity and elegance remained recognizable. 

We removed the rooms to create a single large room with a new expanded kitchen built in the round and located at the center of the house. A new TV Room and the support spaces are designed as pavilions and set back from the perimeter to accommodate the custom glass doors that fully open the interior to the outdoors.
