The Brine

‘The Brine,’ named after a pickle factory that was previously on the site,  will occupy two-thirds of a block in East LA and will be comprised of multiple buildings. Along with the relocation and re-purposing of three historically significant structures to be used as a pediatric clinic and single-family dwelling units, the five-story building includes 97 units of permanent supportive housing, a manager’s unit, facilities for a social services provider, local grocery store, health clinics, medical offices as well as a separate at-grade two-story parking structure. 

With several significant goals in mind, our design aspires to create a safe and secure residential environment for a wide range of community members in critical need of housing in the Northeast Los Angeles while providing commercial and industrial spaces to improve local economy and workforce, especially for the local residents.
