Glendale

Located at the edge of Echo Park in Central Los Angeles, this 15-unit multi-family project aims to transform a vacant hillside into a vibrant community. Sited against a steep hillside, the project is organized as a series of interlocking boxes that step back in order to create multiple expansive views towards the iconic lake. Each unit is expressed on the exterior facade and organized around a dynamic courtyard with shared amenities. The exterior is clad with alternating stucco and wood to further break down the building volume. The building mass was shifted to one side, which allows for community gardens and outdoor recreational space that reduce the mass at the corner and connect to the park.
