LA4LA Features West of West Infill Housing Solutions

"West of West’s focus was to build housing for the missing middle and find ways to make the single-family lot do more. Their two winning designs, Overwalk and Ladderblock, intentionally envisioned communal spaces as community spaces. For Overwalk, this meant shared terraces and outdoor spaces that could be used for gatherings, replacing many of the functions fulfilled by a traditional backyard. For Ladderblock, this meant making communal staircases wider, airier, and filled with natural light to allow for circulation to be an amenity; helping neighbors meet and develop community as they go about their everyday lives."
