Objectives
Provide design services for a developer who has an infill property adjacent to the MTA right-of-way in the Northeast Community Plan of Los Angeles.
The primary goal is to provide quality affordable housing for this infill site that is the last residential lot within the development. This project will succeed when it fits the surrounding context yet puts forth a distinctive aesthetic. the developer challenge is to create multiple buildings that fit the approved entitlement and design 3 story walk up (non-elevator) buildings that can be exited with a single stair.
design the project consistent with the conditions of approval with exterior forms that are clearly residential without mimicking those buildings that are already in place. Use the code provisions and exceptions that allow exiting from the 3rd floor with a single stair. Achieve the required exit distance and occupant load that allow 3rd floor exiting with a single stair.
