Knowing Capitola’s challenges meeting affordable housing needs in the past decade, our team was excited by the opportunity to support a project that will help keep residents in the towns they grew up in and work in, which further enriches the community's health. Nestled in the heart of Capitola, 38th Ave Apartments celebrates the culture and connections to nature that beachy Capitola has to offer, while carefully considering the needs of families and children who will call the community home. Our team began by taking a deep dive into the local context for design inspiration, and reaching out to the project neighbors with a community outreach workshop to hear their values and design preferences.
