The brief asked to develop design templates that could be used on typical small lot subdivisions throughout the city. It specifically called for affordable housing solutions using a new city ordinance concerning lot subdivision. The design creates an easily replicable, modular system for subdivision and densification. Rooftop living and open decks combined with natural daylight and cross ventilation for all rooms provide an ideal concept for the mild Southern California climate.
