MLK1101 SUPPORTIVE HOUSING

摘要

Local firm Lorcan O'Herlihy Architects (LOHA) designed the bright four-story MLK1101 Supportive Housing for an infill site on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in South Los Angeles. The 38,000-square-foot building provides 26 affordable apartments (from studios to three bedrooms) for the previously homeless. The L-shaped parti allows for abundant daylight and cross ventilation in every unit, reducing heating, cooling, and artificial lighting loads to attain LEED Gold certification. Exterior corridors, subtly different in plan on each floor, define the north and east edges of an elevated courtyard that provides a green gathering space for residents.
