Broadwood Terrace

BEYOND THE STATS

• Broadwood Terrace, an affordable senior housing proect located at 50th and Main Streets in Central Los Angeles, is close to shopping, medical facilities and public transportation.
• Common areas including a community room, craft room and library/computer room are placed around a central courtyard, a focal point of activity which features generous landscaping, a large shade tree, and checkerboard and shuffleboard areas.
• The site was originally zoned for commercial use, but with City Council support, KFA was able to get it rezoned for residential use.
• The massing of the building is broken up into a series of framed boxes created through overhangs and vertical fins. The frames capture a variety of materials including cement board lapped siding and exterior plaster.

Watts Towers

• Watts Towers needs no description. Just go. And you can even take the Blue Line to get there—it’s less than a quarter mile from the 103rd St. Station.
