Inspired by the Los Angeles tradition of courtyard housing in the early 20th century, the Fairfax Courtyard Residences rethink communal space in urban life. Organized to redefine traditional forms of living, the project is sited on five residential lots to make use of generous depth and create an entirely single-loaded unit configuration. As a new urban courtyard for LA, the design emphasizes shared interactive space grounded in the context of Fairfax.
