Multifamily Residential
Van Ness Residences
Los Angeles
Project perspective
A Los Angeles housing project that broadens the studio’s evidence across multifamily planning, facade development, and urban residential design.
The design story
Van Ness Residences is part of the studio’s extensive Los Angeles housing archive. Seen alongside Gardner, Sweetzer, San Vicente, and other projects, it demonstrates that multifamily is a sustained body of work rather than a single isolated example.
That breadth supports early conversations with owners about planning patterns, architectural identity, and how a residential building can respond to a specific neighborhood.
What this project shows
Lessons carried into the next commission.
Context is specific
The planning discipline may transfer, but the building still needs an identity appropriate to its place.
Housing is lived daily
The quality of arrival, openings, circulation, and shared edges matters beyond the first impression.
