Hoover Row As sole practicioner, I made a conceptual study of several schemes for a hillside site in Los Angeles. These schemes attempted to balance maximum density with quality of life through providing daylight, views, direct access, and a shared courtyard. The apartment scheme is rental and the rowhouse scheme is for sale through use of small-lots.
