0.1 fLOR 401 - Affordable Housing Downtown Los Angeles Role - Assistant Project Architect Flor 401 is 100 percent affordable and 100 unit residential dwell with ongrade parking with +/- 9,800 sf ground floor support services. I joined fLOR 401 project team at the schematic stage and currently conducting the construction administration phase of the project. The project is 96% complete and getting ready for the Certificate of Occupancy. I managed consultant coordination such as MEP, structural, lighting, and landscape, including the reviews of code compliance during the development phase of the work. I have been assisting the project architect from the beginning of groundbreaking until now. The project is a few inches away from completing its milestone. My role as an assistant project architect includes: reviewing the drawings and submittals, issuing architect’s supplemental instructions as needed, providing solution/direction on issued RFIs, participating owner-architect-contractor meetings, and protecting the owner’s interest in completing the project. #permanent affordable housing #schematic #design development #construction document #construction administration

7th and Wall Street, the site is within the tract of Skid  Row where the area is also known as Central City East. Skid row is one of the nation’s largest stable populations of homeless people in the united states and has been known for its condensed homeless population since the 1930s. Its long history of police raids targeted city initiatives, and homelessness advocacy makes it one of the most notable districts in Los Angeles.

Homeless population around the site parameter.

Per the ESRI: Combating Homelessness in Los Angeles County shows there are: 2,018 homeless people are living in emergency shelters, transitional housing, or safe havens; 42 are sleeping in their cars, vans, or campers; 671 are living in tents and makeshift encampments; 498 are living on the street.

Unit typology

professional

The nature of affordable housing does not have the luxury of providing multiples types of unit typology that serve various people in the market. For its efficiency and to provide the most cost-effective unit typology in plans that require Architects to design practical studio unit plans, most people on the street can universally accept.

Community Part of an ambitious goal to create a new sustainable neighborhood in Downtown Los Angeles, fLOR 401, provides 98 units of affordable housing. The project uses public funds with the City interest to achieve an unusually high proportion of affordable units in DTLA. Social demand

Third -sixth floor

The neighborhood is rapidly densifying and design is organized around a “sticky space” concept of connecting home to street.

Thus, providing central courtyard achieves resident serving open space at the ground floor and the podium, as well as achieving the open space to the street.

Sustainability This LEED Platinum project uses a combination of passive and active systems to address energy, water, and wellness. High albedo roofs reduce heat island effect reducing cooling demand, while rooftop PV’s and solar hot water panels offset energy use.

Access hallways are not conditioned. Enhanced air filtration and low VOC materials improve interior air quality. Sunshades reduce solar gain and glare encouraging residents to maximize daylight. Artificial lighting fixtures are all high efficiency. Inground drought tolerant non-invasive plantings reduce water demand as do high efficiency plumbing fixtures.

0.2 500 Broadway Santa Monica Role - Project Designer I joined 500 Broadwayproject team at the design development stage and worked until its final submission/permit approval. I was in charge with developing construction details and preparing complete set of construction drawings for permit approval. The project broke ground in January, 2020.

The project buidling is a mixed-use apartment consists of a seven-story containing 249 studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments atop nearly 55,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space and basement parking for over 200 vehicles on four basement levels. Potential commercial uses include shops, restaurants, and a grocery store.

The most notable characteristic/design strategy emphasized during the design process is the cross-grain massing and linear approach. It is to engage and “stitch” the private building to the public space or vice versa. However, dividing the building into four distinct masses connected by pedestrian bridges challenge local guidelines that favor internal courtyards and discreet public open spaces. After multiple reviews and planning with the city, the policies are updated in response: now, 500 Broadway is used as a model for good development, and the building is awarded LEED Platinum.

Thus, in order to alleviate claustrophobic layout with monolithic buildings occupying the streets of Santa Monica, 500 Broaday design process focused on: -Creating a series of courts along 5th street to transform the environment more walkable.

-Four separate unified buildings along the street, breaking down its massive scale.

-Landscape podium courts contribute to the street

Two hundred and fifty units varying in size flank upper level courtyards to create nested communities.

There are total of 16 unit plans throughtout the plan. South and west facing apartments have movable screens that provide personalized control of sun and privacy and contribute to achieving LEED Platinum goals.

0.3 4th & La Brea Los Angeles Role - Design Lead I joined the project team in the schematic phase of the project in collaboration with Starbucks to deliever its first “Reserve” store in Los Angeles. As a design lead, I was responsible of making design decisions and developing construction documents and detail for the final sumission to the city.

The project site/building is at the closed La Boulange cafe in La Brea, Los Angeles. It is the Bay Area-based pastry chained that Starbucks acquired in 2012 for an estimated $100 million, to bolster Starbucks’ breakfast and lunch food offerings to the customers. The site is +/- 3,200 sf commercial restaurant tenant improvement located on the ground floor of a one-story building. #La Brea #Los Angeles #Coffee #Starbucks Reserve
