Practice has the distinct privilege of contributing to one of the most complex and transformative community efforts in Los Angeles - the Jordan Downs Community Revitalization. Working with the Michaels Organization and an extensive master plan, we developed an effective blueprint for an affordable housing complex that provides residents with new opportunities in a mixed-use urban village. The phase S4 & S5 program spreads 190 units of family apartments over a mix of varied dwelling and multi-family apartment types knit together by a large community park component. The overall approach celebrated and promoted community connection and pride of home through extensive outdoor courtyards, gardens, and play spaces. The end result delivered the opportunity for a vibrant new community which could feasibly be delivered in regards to phasing, constructibility, schedule, and budget.
