"'Low-Rise' entrants were tasked with cooking up, not pie-in-the-sky utopias, but pragmatic, communitarian schemes for duplexes, fourplexes and mixed-use, multilot corner developments..."

Many thanks to @kimmelman for this thoughtful and detailed piece:

"SB 9 benefits homeowners, prevents profiteers from evicting or displacing tenants, and prohibits the development of small subdivisions and ministerial lot splits on adjacent parcels by the same individual in order to prevent investor speculation."

[Christopher Hawthorne @ByCHawthorne]

"SB 9 builds upon the successful approach of [ADUs] and expands options for homeowners, while also respecting local control and zoning requirements, preserving historic neighborhoods, and establishing a maximum of no more than 4 units on what is currently a single-family parcel."

[Christopher Hawthorne @ByCHawthorne]

"An ingenious experiment that's yielded some fine public-facing architecture."

Thanks to @JDavidsonNYC for this piece on Low-Rise:

A similar sensibility is at work in the 2nd-place (Re)Distribution winner, by Henry Aldridge (also from the UK). His beautifully rendered proposal imagines Neutra's Von Sternberg House brought back to life as a compound holding a community garden, public open space & 4 apartments

Third place in (Re)Distribution went to @roartnyc, for a poetic re-imagination and addition to the South Seas House (operated by our Rec and Parks Dept.) in West Adams.

Inspired by the “small farm movement” that gained traction in L.A. and elsewhere in the 1920s, the team reimagined the Schindler House as a neo-agrarian compound w/ room for a dozen residents, including a flexible space that could be offered to a person experiencing homelessness.

[Christopher Hawthorne @ByCHawthorne]

(Re)Distribution was our most speculative category, inviting entrants to imagine remaking famous LA houses (Chemosphere, Hollyhock, Gehry's Schnabel House) as fourplexes. It attracted some wild ideas. But the winning entry, by @aandcreatives of the UK, stood out for its subtlety.
