Jardinette Apartments, Architectural landmark in Mid-Wilshire, Los Angeles, US

The Jardinette Apartments is a four-story reinforced-concrete apartment block at Marathon Street and Manhattan Place in Hollywood. Its main bar runs east to west along the back of the site, with two short wings at either end forming a shallow courtyard. Unbroken ribbon windows alternate with plain banded spandrels that extend into cantilevered balconies, and the flat roof was originally planned with gardens.

Richard Neutra designed this building in 1928 as his first solo commission in the United States, creating one of the earliest International Style apartment complexes. The project launched his reputation as a modernist pioneer in California.

The name Jardinette means "little garden", after the central garden kept in the renovation. The building was published as far as Germany and Russia, and the Museum of Modern Art included it in its 1932 "Modern Architecture" exhibition, one of the few American examples shown.

The building is visible from the sidewalk and easily observed from street level. Early morning light strikes the facades at an angle, making architectural details clearer for visitors.

The Jardinette was meant as a prototype for a series of garden apartments in Hollywood, but developer Joseph H. Miller went bankrupt during construction and the others were never built. Its name comes from the central garden kept in the 2016–2026 renovation, which also restored steel-casement windows and skylights.
