"Limey," says blogger BLDGBLOG, getting some snaps of Lorcan O'Herlihy's Habitat 825, a condo project on Kings Road in West Hollywood. As we noted recently, the project didn't entirely win over Times architecture critic Christopher Hawthorne, but, hey, there's always blogger love: "I love this building! O'Herlihy's use of volume and color just knocks me out," writes BLDGBLOG. Click on link below for more pics.

front view is nice and thought out but the side elevation deisgn? was there one? lets all face the steel wall and watch an old movie projected on it.

I'm not sure if I love to hate Lorcan or hate to love him. His work it usually great, but every now and then he does something that really bothers me. I like this project, but I feel that it competes with the Schindler house.

A few years ago he designed a remodel for a Neutra on Bel Air Rd. that really pissed me off. He added an appalling box to the FRONT of this Neutra house.
