This project, on a tight East Hollywood infill site just west of Silverlake, explores higher density housing solutions with elevated architectural quality for the lower density sections of Los Angeles' ubiquitous boulevards. The building's form creates a subtle inflection of its stepped facade in response to its historic Carnegie public library neighbor to the west. A strategic removal of facade modules creates a network of outdoor living spaces: two horizontal covered patio voids meet two vertical courtyard voids to bring light and air, and indoor/outdoor living to the heart of the building.
