249 Units, 265,000 SF Residential, 34,187 SF Retail/Restaurant, 1.0 acre rooftop park. Much of Los Angeles’ multi-unit mixed-use housing is characterized by formulaic streetwall massing. The design for this 249 unit transit-oriented development rethinks the formula by breaking the street wall to offer a more sustainable, informal, and neighborly vision.
Faceting the building envelope extended unit views and is one of two key facade treatments used in the design. It is replaced on south facing elevations by a layered assembly that provides shade as it expands a sense of distance between buildings. Our steel prefabricated moment frame reduced construction time by 3 months to cost-effectively achieve the desired modulation and flexible unit planning.
