Embodying the spirit of Hollywood, The Star aims to make its mark on the famous star-studded city.
Designed by Foster + Partners, The Star is a planned 22-story building with an expressive, plant-filled facade, and a number of unique amenities. With a range of creative offices inside, the building will play host to bright, imaginative minds. On the exterior, white curving terraces will play host to outdoor gatherings and abundant plant life.
Located directly on Sunset Boulevard, the building’s unique spiraling form would stand out on its own. With the addition of blended indoor/outdoor spaces and panoramic views of the Hollywood sign, and the Pacific coast.
“This is a true reflection of the workplace of the future, nurturing community, wellbeing and collaboration with green social terraces spiralling through the building that will encourage and enliven the city’s incredible creative industries”
-Norman Foster, founder of Foster + Partners
The building’s curving terraces feature seamless indoor and outdoor spaces, and abundant plant life.
We admire the lush plant life, and if done right, could become a true icon for Hollywood, which doesn’t have as many true architectural landmarks.
The view from Sunset Boulevard features a rift in the building’s spiral, with flowers and plant life ‘spilling out of it’.
The curving form has a white aesthetic, and stands out from existing architectural landmarks in the area.

All good if you have no interest in privacy. I wouldn’t like people being able to see everything going on on my terrace
What do you think the water usage would be for that many plants and trees??? Doesn’t seem very “eco-friendly”. I doubt rainwater caught on the roof would be sufficient for all those plants. In addition there would be a significant cost for enough gardeners to care for all the plant life.
Bee interesting if the build it. But how would it withstand a high intensity earthquake.
