Nestled in the vibrant area of Echo Park, a single-family dwelling lot is subdivided to accommodate five single-family houses that focus on design and comfort in the modern age. A Los Angeles City ordinance passed in 2005 allowed for the subdivision of smaller lots but “faced challenges related to spatial planning and neighborhood compatibility”. The project is a response to this unique challenge and provided residents with a novel alternative to housing that recognizes contemporary urban demands without sacrificing the human experience.
