We are excited to announce our Watts Works project won the AIA LA Residential Honor Award for Architectural Design in the Affordable Housing category.   This permanent supportive housing project provides 25 units for unhoused residents in Los Angeles. The design includes a spacious community room, long-term bicycle storage, outdoor dining, and a quiet zone with a tranquility garden. Huge thanks to our incredible team for their dedication in making this vision a reality.   According to the AIA LA Jury, "Watts Works sets a new standard for affordable housing with its impressive modular design. The placement of pre-fab units is simple yet striking, demonstrating restraint and clever use of color and light. The straightforward approach results in well-proportioned courtyards and generously sized windows, creating a strong community connection. The staggered windows, elevated porch, and rooftop spaces balance privacy and community interaction. This project proves that good design does not need to be sacrificed in affordable housing, making it a standout example in the field." Photography: Here And Now Agency, LLC AIA Los Angeles
