CHIA MIN  WANG 

Perched within historic Filipino Town, just west of Downtown Los Angeles, this building responds to its context at both city-wide and neighborhood levels. Addressing the ongoing housing crisis in Los Angeles, this project answers the demand for increased density. Here, a combination of 47 affordable and market rate apartments sit atop commercial space at the ground level.

​

A strong concrete base grounds the project on Temple Street. Accommodating the public component of the project, the base activates the streetscape and gives the project a human-scale, mediating between it and the apartment buildings above.
