The average home size today in America is approximately 2,330 square feet. This number has been growing at a rapid rate, more than doubling where it stood in the 1950’s. An increasing number of people have been able to find themselves able to buy a house, a bigger house, and often are willing to travel to acquire it. In fact, the average commute in Los Angeles County now stands at over thirty minutes, much higher than many other places in the country. The effects of this suburban sprawl have given rise to a number of ecological issues and environmental impacts. This project then, works to provide one of the most elusive forms of sustainability, urban sustainability. By providing a dense number of housing on a site, the opportunity to create more open space is made and community development is stimulated, all while providing the community of Lincoln Heights with much needed housing. The additional housing is made from recycled shipping containers arranged to give each resident a garden roof plot as well as adequate direct sunlight. Each container points towards one central node, uniting the local residence as well as the larger Lincoln Heights population. This central node becomes the heart of susDensity in which public space is attributed to vast resources of local amenities and connects susDensity with larger nodes such as Pasadena and Los Angeles.
