Homeless Homes Built from Shipping Containers in Los Angeles

Homeless Homes built from Shipping Containers in Los Angeles, California
This stunning five-story building is used to house the homeless in Los Angeles. The prefabricated factory-built units were delivered to the site and craned into place. Three 20-foot containers are stitched together to create two housing typologies. A studio apartment measuring 400 square feet, two studio units share a wet core with two bathrooms. The second typology is a one-bedroom apartment measuring 480 square feet with a sizable bathroom and a spacious closet. The housing units are arranged in a courtyard, serving as a communal space. The project has 84 dwelling units with floor-to-ceiling glass surrounding an inner courtyard and a combined rooftop garden/deck to create outdoor zones for lounging and socializing.
