LunaVista Housing North Hills, CA

This 74-unit affordable housing project is Designed around a central community room and courtyard, Luna Vista incorporates generous open space, taking advantage of the greater lot width at the rear yard of this irregular-shaped parcel. By placing the subterranean garage outside of this area, mature trees will grow and storm water management can occur resulting in a quiet, planted oasis from the street life. Building mass is broken down at the front façade and capped with an ‘eyebrow’ that unifies the form and provides a ‘threshold’ of space within which to enter the project. Rear walls are angled to take advantage of differing views and orientations and to provide material relief in plane. The ground floor incorporates community and support spaces as well as residential units. The central community room is topped with planting and landscaping is a theme that carries from the front of the building to the rear, creating an open and pedestrian-oriented façade to the sidewalk and an inviting entryway.
