Los Angeles, CA. 2010
Located in a predominantly high density residential district near Chinatown, the three level residential duplex sits on a hillside lot bounded by Grand Avenue to the west and an alley on the rear side. This duplex is part of a development project along the Grand Avenue corridor where mixed commercial and residential developments are planned. Entries in to the units are from the Grand Avenue side through a series of stairs. Parking entry is through the back where the alley meets the second level of the units. Because the property is of sub-standard size, the units are long and narrow configurations; however, it maximizes the available space. The units each have three bedrooms with a floor area of 1,400 square feet.
