Design advances on "La Casa" Supportive Housing Project
Studio Twenty Seven Architecture, along with joint venture partner Leo A Daly, are continuing to develop their design for the District-owned "La Casa" supportive housing project. The project is an important milestone for the District in their efforts to redefine the concept of housing for the homeless community. Rather than function as a shelter, the "La Casa" project will provide permanent, supportive rather than temporary housing for forty men. Each living unit is designed as a single-person efficiency that will provide stability and predictability for the tenants as they immerse themselves in day to day living.
