Ware-House
2018
Ware-House takes shape from ‘Cantilevers and Voids’ and integrates a housing complex with an Amazon warehouse
distribution center in Downtown Los Angeles. By locating a warehouse in the
center of the city with housing, the project brings a new proximity between
goods and consumers: a new social experience for both residents and workers
of the warehouse alike. This project attempts to transform Los Angeles, a city
of industry-specific districts (Toy district, Fashion district, Little Tokyo district,
etc) spread apart on different ends of the city, into one district that merges all
industries right inside a housing complex.
Ware-House gives rise to a broad spectrum of unit typologies that make up an
entire gradient of neighborhood types found on the same floorplan. The floorplan
shows off a regimented cruciform grid system that layer threshold spaces
between multi-family units, itinerant units, and collective spaces. Ware-House is a new way to live that addresses people’s fundamental need for shelter that
combines the modern need for convenience and instant delivery.
