The Hartford Apartments will transform an abandoned lot - previously occupied by dilapidated single family homes, into 100 units of affordable housing. Located in the Westlake South neighborhood, this will offer housing within walking distance of downtown Los Angeles.

The client, already familiar with wood modular construction, is using Hartford as a test case to bring steel volumetric modular experience into their portfolio.

While affordable in nature, the project aims to give a market-rate experience to tenants, offering rooftop patios with sweeping views to downtown Los Angeles, and a materiality that does not feel affordable.

High efficiency, all-in-one PTAC units provide fresh air, conditioning, and a quieter operation and will keep individual units comfortable while respecting the principles of modular construction.
