LOCATION
Hollywoodland, established in 1923, is the neighborhood for which the iconic sign was built to advertise. Located at the top of the famed Beachwood Canyon it was to be the first themed hillside residential development in the US. Architects like John DeLario, Richard Neutra and John Lautner are all represented.
The neighborhood, surrounded by Griffith Park, has a special relationship with the park. The developers original 1923 intentions were to create a community of homes that embraced the environment, were design-worthy and built for modern families. LHOM aims to become an inclusive example. By embracing sustainable features, modern design and a modern way of life, LHOM aligns with the original fundamentals of the Hollywoodland developers and the neighborhood.
