Multiple perspectives improve the plan
Residential design, multifamily discipline, interiors, and operations reveal different needs early.
Multifamily
Spaulding Residences
West Hollywood
Project perspective
A West Hollywood multifamily residential project, planned around unit quality, daylight and the way a small plan is actually lived in.
The design story
Spaulding Residences sits within the studio’s multifamily work in West Hollywood. Together they give prospective clients more than a general statement: they connect the service to actual West Hollywood residential work.
The project also illustrates the value of Apel Design’s broader model. Multifamily planning, luxury residential sensitivity, interior experience, and property operations can all contribute useful knowledge to environments designed for older adults.
What this project shows
Lessons carried into the next commission.
Circulation should reassure
Legibility, daylight, thresholds, and familiar spatial cues help a building feel understandable.
Shared space needs purpose
Community areas work best when they support real patterns of gathering, visiting, and daily life.
