  • Description: Brooks + Scarpa's design of the Six, a new affordable housing project in Los Angeles' MacArthur Park neighborhood is featured. The building's 52 below-market-rate apartments are reserved for disabled veterans. Connecting the apartments to one another, to the open landscaped areas, and to a host of shared amenities like bike storage and meeting rooms, the building's involved circulation patterns and irregular envelope encourage residents to interact with one another and with their environment, with the intent of fostering the kind of supportive culture too often absent from the veteran-care experience.
