Located in downtown Inglewood, at the historic Market St. across from the future Metro station, Astra is a mixed-use new construction building takes up an entire city block with ground floor commercial and residential upper floors.
Interior Design
We redesigned the building during construction to a more contemporary style. The existing details and structure, exterior shell, windows, and facade setbacks have been maintained and respected. We approach this block like an urban village; a series of connected buildings with different complementary materials and textures. The storefronts are set back to engage the street with shade and patio space.
Inspired by Inglewood cityscape, the muted colors are contrasted by accented blue tile, strategically placed as an homage to nearby historic buildings; Fox Theatre and Vajra Bookstore. The side that faces the train station mimics the silver tones and colors. The building takes a U-shape form around the pool, where the accent blue color ties everything together.
