8223 Norton Ave

A modern wonder kisses the sky in West Hollywood.

Story Posted On: July 18, 2019

Norton Towers-on-the-Court, an award-winning, six-unit condominium built in 2002 by architect, Michael B. Lehrer FAIA, has four dazzling levels of light-filled rooms. Multiple balconies and a large rooftop terrace with sweeping 180-degree views from Century City to the Hollywood Hills and beyond create an atmosphere of treetop living.

2 Beds | 3 Baths | LP $6,350
1,758 Sq. Ft.

Norton Court successfully realizes West Hollywood’s courtyard standards for narrow lots. The design creates an urban courtyard community of townhouses that maximizes light, space and garden, nurtures individual identity, and creates a sense of grandeur, privacy, intimacy, and luxury.

The condominiums are bathed with light and air, each with its own four-story, glass tower that allows daylight to penetrate deep into each unit.

Flanked by mature palm trees on one side and towering bamboo on the other, the geometric building with its clean, sharp lines marries the beauty of nature and the beauty of smart home functionality.

A striking three-story glass atrium welcomes you in and sends light cascading into the space. This tower brings light, view, drama, and a sense of connectedness into each of the floor levels.

Light also greets you on the second floor landing that is so spacious it could almost be another room.

Lehrer’s philosophy and design credo for the sustainable home of the future is apparent on Norton Avenue:

“The ascent of sustainability bodes extremely well for the housing industry and interior design. It takes architecture back to the basic elements, the rudiments of place and design and quality and life: fresh air, massive natural light, strong visual and, if possible, physical indoor/outdoor connections.”

Michael Lehrer

Born in Los Angeles and raised in Los Feliz where he still lives, Michael Lehrer draws inspiration from his own home—a 3-story house built in 1926 with commanding views of greater Los Angeles—and from his light-filled offices in Silver Lake.

His signature style is also seen in other significant Los Angeles homes he has built.
