S I T E + B U I L D I N G………CIRCULATION
KEVIN DALY ARCHITECTS: Broadway Housing, Santa Monica
Context and Community Striving for community living, the Broadway housing project focuses the design on a centralized circulation system. The complex’s community spaces in the back of the complex away from the busy Broadway street. Two community rooms are fully wired for use. One is used for a technology center that has been filled with computers and tablets. The other is a studio space were weekly workout classes take place and community meetings are held. The children’s playground resides between these two community spaces and is next to the laundry room. Providing this community zone creates a safe environment for children to play and work…..

HOUSING - EXTERIOR CIRCULATION
KONING EIZENBERG: Harold Way Housing, Los Angeles http://www.kearch.com/work/harold-way-apartments/
all units are cross-ventilated and have exterior access and balconies or garden space.
rather than four levels of three-bedroom flats, there are stacked three-bedroom, two-level townhouses.
the two-bedroom units have a floor-to-ceiling sliding glass door that allows abundant natural light and ventilation.
the one-bedroom unit blocks step down from four to two stories in the middle of the site and are clad in cement board with wood battens. vines will eventually cover the walls.
the community room fills the ground-level southwest entry corner as a sign of welcome.
