Hayworth House

BEYOND THE STATS

• Hayworth House is the transformation of a decrepit, vacant apartment building, built in the 1950’s, into affordable senior housing serving the West Hollywood community.
• The two driving forces in the design were to serve the needs of the senior population and to keep the building a cohesive part of the neighborhood. To achieve these goals, we focused on accessibility, community areas, project identity and sustainability.
• The front yard was transformed from an uninviting, sparsely-planted berm to a variety of exterior spaces, including a large front porch outside the new community room. The front porch gives the project a distinct identity within the neighborhood, and offers residents a protected social area with a visual connection to the street and surrounding community. A community garden and patio at the rear of the site, adjacent to the resident’s lounge, provides a more private area for social interaction and gives residents the opportunity to grow their own herbs and food.
