This five-story affordable senior housing project reflects a contemporary approach rooted in local character. Inspired by surrounding Craftsman and Prairie-style homes, the design emphasizes horizontality to reduce vertical scale while introducing modern detailing. Soft wood tones and clean lines harmonize with the mountain backdrop. A key feature is the perforated metal panel, inspired by mid-century modernism, adding privacy and visual interest to the parking garage on Figueroa Drive.
Located on a half-acre corner lot at Lincoln Avenue and Figueroa Drive, the building offers views of the city to the south and the San Gabriel Mountains to the north. Though the January 2025 wildfire devastated the Altadena neighborhood, the non-combustible exterior helped save the building—making it a symbol of hope and resilience. The project includes 72 studio and one-bedroom units, a two-bedroom manager’s unit, and a landscaped courtyard. Residents enjoy over 2,000 SF of amenity spaces, a welcoming lobby, bike storage, laundry room, and 35 parking spaces. The design promotes wellness, connection, and long-term stability.
