CARRILLO APARTMENTS

This property is currently an underutilized urban lot with the opportunity for thoughtful development under AUD guidelines. The proposed project features a 3-story multi-family design comprised of three distinct volumes, each serving a specific purpose to create a cohesive and functional living environment.

At the south end of the site along Carrillo Street, the ground floor accommodates essential accessory spaces, including a bike room, trash enclosure, and a shared common room for residents. Rising above, a 2-story standard ADU unit offers efficient and comfortable living with a compact footprint. A central courtyard provides access to all units via an open-air egress stair tower, fostering a sense of community and connectivity while maximizing natural ventilation and light throughout the site. At the north end of the property, a 3-story apartment building houses three thoughtfully designed ADU units. Each unit is oriented to capture light, air, and privacy, offering a modern, livable space for residents.

The project balances functionality, livability, and architectural appeal, contributing to the housing needs of the area while maintaining harmony with its urban context.
