Willowbrook Housing
The Willowbrook permanent supportive housing campus in Los Angeles County exemplifies dignity, sustainability, and beauty for all, catering to formerly unhoused veterans with disabilities. Comprising seven micro-units with shared spaces, the design fosters a sense of community through entry patios, an arrival court, and communal areas. Orchestrated as an intimate coherent urban campus, it visually enriches the neighborhood and centers community expression. This model community demonstrates harmony in multiple housing forms, caring for every resident, particularly the most vulnerable, and embodying the belief that beauty is essential to human dignity.
