A prime example of smart urban development, the Fuller Lofts
project is a 127,500 sq. ft. adaptive reuse and nearly 30,500 sq. ft. vertical
expansion of a 1920s concrete industrial building in a depressed neighborhood
of East Los Angeles. Located convenient to a station on a recently constructed
light-rail line, the Fuller Lofts was the first transit-oriented development
begun in the area and has spurred the revitalization of Lincoln Heights.
Consisting of 102 units (48 studios, 39 one bedroom, 15 two
bedroom [78 units are live/work]) of affordable, workforce, and market-rate
lofts along with 15,500 sq. ft. of commercial space, the program adds two
stories of penthouse lofts above the original four-story structure. Connected
by an open-air paseo, a newly constructed two-story parking structure lies
directly adjacent. Our design was the result of several design options explored
that took best advantage of cost, schedule, and sustainability while
incorporating design excellence. We worked with the contractor early on in the
process under a Design/Build and Guaranteed Maximum Price contract.
The design solution for Fuller Lofts creates a daring
juxtaposition between new and old. The original neoclassical façade is
preserved—along with the elegant, formal lobby—and crowned by a striking
steel-clad façade wrapping the addition on the upper floors. Inside, an atrium
courtyard was cut into the structure, bringing light and air into the center of
the building and thereby reducing the mechanical systems needed. The courtyard
was designed with an exterior stair and walkway system to build community
through informal interaction. Units are entered directly off this open area,
making it the central circulation point of the complex. Two rooftop gardens—one
open to all occupants—further enhance residents’ quality of life along with
operable windows in every unit, many of which also have private balconies.

developing compact, sustainable mixed-use infill projects in Los Angeles
County, owns Fuller Lofts.
