01.20.10 The Standard

I traveled to West Hills, CA today for a Schematic Design meeting at the West Hills Hospital and Medical Center. I stayed overnight at the Standard in downtown LA. This is a very unique hotel as they advertise it to be "modern".  All of the rooms have beds on a floor platform with the shower/bathroom completely enclosed by glass. You can lay in bed and watch someone in the shower or vice-versa. Very wierd to me, but we get a good rate and the architect's like to stay there. They also have a cool rooftop bar, but we did not get to take advantage of that feature on this trip.
