Best seniors supportive housing design for Global Awards shortlisted
LOS ANGELES: The shortlist for the best seniors supportive housing design has been declared.
Over 250 designs have been considered by the awards secretariat. One of the finalists in this category is shown above.
It was a remarkably fast project,” says Michael Pinto, AIA. The principal at the Los Angeles office of NAC Architecture is speaking of his firm’s Hilda L. Solis Care First Village project completed in 2021 in LA’s famous Chinatown neighborhood. Tasked by Los Angeles County in 2019 with creating an interim, 232-bed residential complex with on-site supportive care for Angelinos transitioning from being unhoused, Pinto and his team faced a daunting set of challenges: Working at the height of the COVID-19 outbreak, they would have to create a project aimed at a uniquely vulnerable community and do it on an extremely tight schedule—just six months from start to finish.
The Global Award winner will be announced in December in London. (Globals)
