It includes 44 units of affordable single room occupancy (SRO) housing, and incorporates state-of-the-art sustainable energy systems, including photovoltaic solar panels, a series of passive solar features from siting to ventilation systems; and a micro-turbine that supplements solar panel energy generation. An unusual collaboration between architect, developer, and municipality, this joint effort of architects Pugh Scarpa and the Community Corporation of Santa Monica as developer is one of the few affordable housing projects in the country to effectively combine sustainable energy systems with affordable housing and quality architectural design |
