Bestor Architecture (remote from another location)

2030 Hyperion Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90027



Stop and wait—just for a moment. Follow the path, step down the hill and see. You already know how. Another left-over place sprawling between all the “proper” stuff. Down here no money is to be made. This is where things become uncertain, blurry and less defined. A split stair awaits you. It has been here before. Nobody knows why. An element of transition—a moment in limbo. A provisional roof initiates space. Like a tent, protecting and framing your stay. Offering a point of pause. To endure and let time pass without keeping count. Knowing how to waste it.
