Westlake Tiny Home Village

The Westlake Tiny Home Village, a 77-unit, 150-bed campus for the formerly homeless, overcame a challenging slope by terracing the site. This minimized drainage needs and created level pads, organizing sleeping units into micro-neighborhoods. The terraced design forms a hillside village, offering varied experiences at different scales. Ground plane coloring and unit design enhance primary village experiences, with strategic placement of congregational spaces like the Pet Area and Laundry facilities fostering community. The site's organization addressing the topography creatively while ensuring a cohesive and welcoming environment for residents.

"The Tiny Home Villages we are successfully bringing to the 13th District are providing shelter and services to people experiencing homelessness, and putting people on the pathway to wellness, stability and permanent housing."
