One building, many homes
The exterior must express a coherent whole while supporting the scale and privacy of individual residences.
Multifamily Residential
Gardner Residences
Los Angeles
Project perspective
A Los Angeles multifamily project that gives a substantial residential program a clear form, street presence, and identity.
The design story
Gardner Residences is part of a broad Los Angeles housing portfolio. It represents the studio’s interest in giving multifamily work a distinct architectural presence while maintaining the planning discipline required by repeated homes, shared circulation, and an urban parcel.
The project is a useful reference for owners evaluating how building form, openings, material, balconies, and the street elevation can work together rather than reading as separate requirements.
What this project shows
Lessons carried into the next commission.
The street matters
Arrival, frontage, openings, and massing determine how a housing project belongs to its neighborhood.
Discipline creates freedom
Clear planning establishes the framework within which architectural identity can become stronger.
