The Community Village Tower in Los Angeles is a mixed-use complex that provides residential, commercial, and child care services, connecting residents, pedestrians, and Metro station commuters. Inspired by VIA 57 West, the residential units are designed with balconies of different sizes that range from one to two bedrooms. The location next to MacArthur Park allows for the framing of the experience of nature. Access to transportation is provided through the underground Metro station and underground parking, as well as cars accessing the drop-off area from Wilshire Blvd.
