Los Feliz Mixed-Use

Los Feliz Mixed-Use Housing

The market-rate, mixed-use housing proposal in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles focuses on the use of a terraced structure and splaying mass pattern. These concepts respond to sunlight, wind patterns, views, and harbor an interactive tenant community connecting to the surrounding neighborhood.

Ample bridges extrude from terraces at each residential level of two towers, connecting circulation paths as well as activating generous common open spaces for residents. The bridges foster a highly interactive community connected through community gardens, lounging areas, and stairwells. By stepping downwards, the terraced masses also allow for views in both directions for residents while allowing for lighting and shade at different times of day.

A stripe-painted pattern with a raised crosswalk connects the project to a public plaza visually and physically. This enhanced connection with the public realm creates a gateway to the neighborhood of Los Feliz, establishing a shared public gathering space for residents, pedestrians, and tourists.
