Jewel Box on Sunset
The Sunset “Jewel Box” is 6 stories and approximately 60,000sf above grade combined with three levels of below-grade parking. Site constraints including the adjacency to Sunset Boulevard present a challenge for construction. While utilizing a concrete structure, the embodied carbon was reduced for this project by nearly 50% of a comparable industry baseline structure with a combination of high-strength concrete, 40% of the Portland cement was replaced with recycled materials, and void-form technology (Bubbledeck) is used to eliminate another 20% of the concrete by volume.
