Site Location: West Los Angeles
South of Pico Blvd and the Expo Line on Exposition Blvd between Purdue and Corinth Streets facing North-West

Los Angeles has a rich-history of low-rise housing typologies that maximize the benefits of the Los Angeles climate, lifestyle and landscape. Each raised important questions about the nature of urban dwellings and the power of housing-based interventions to effect social and/or economic change. New lifestyles, changing demographics, demand for quality urban design and outdoor space, and changing modes of transportation will all drive these changes.

 

This site is directly south of Pico Blvd and the Expo Line on Exposition Boulevard between Purdue and Corinth Streets facing north-west. The site attachments show a rhomboid shaped site at the end of block with five existing residential lots that form a rhomboid shaped parcel with a depth of 120 feet to a 17.5 width alley and a frontage on Exposition Blvd across from the elevated Expo Line of 318 feet. The site has an approximate area of 36,000 SF and will require 45 units for the target density. 

 

Existing low density buildings which do not maximize the current zoning will be demolished to clear the site and accommodate this project. Issues relating to increased foot traffic, safety, and noise are considered when designing the project.
