As his latest Los Angeles mega-project neared completion, Frank Gehry was offered an apartment with sweeping views high up in the 45-story Grand LA complex he designed on Bunker Hill in Downtown. He chose instead one of the development's lowest units — an apartment that looks out on his famous Walt Disney Concert Hall across the street.
The lower view will let the architect see how his two creations complement each other.
"Now Disney has context," he said on a balcony overlooking the home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. "For me, it all fits now. Disney Hall doesn't look like an outlier."
