The Hopen Place By Whipple Russell Architects, Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles, California, United States

Much of Marc's recent work has been focused on the unique challenges and varied palette offered in building for the west coast contemporary lifestyle. From steep hillsides to the beach, to restaurants and residences, Marc and his team build on the sensibility of easy indoor-outdoor living. Marc’s old world influences add another layer of elegance and perspective, which is then combined with an avid interest in modern materials and methods.
Using these modern methods in 2009, whipple^russell designed the very first GreenPoint Rated residence to be permitted under the City of Beverly Hills green building standards. GreenPoint Ratings require adherence to rigorous eco-smart, energy efficient, and environmentally healthy design standards and specifications. Green technology standards are incorporated into all their projects.
