County's compact lot subdivision ordinance on a single parcel of land at 925 Brannick Avenue in East Los Angeles. Plans call for razing an existing single-story, two-bedroom house, clearing the way for the construction of four single-family homes.</p></em><br /><br /><p>The plan is one of a series of novel attempts to deliver to market the much-needed stock of "missing middle" housing brought on by <a href="https://archinect.com/news/article/150324914/on-the-disappearance-of-american-starter-homes" target="_blank">developer recalcitrance</a> and new zoning laws that incentivize multifamily development more heavily. The residences range between&nbsp;885- to 1,118-square-feet and will be constructed using an insulated panel system that <a href="https://archinect.com/firms/cover/150330073/taller" target="_blank">TALLER</a> says is 30 percent stronger than typical stick-framed designs.</p> <p>"[The] Brannick Homes are a deliberate investment into a working class neighborhood with deep roots in Los Angeles," the firm describes in a statement. "The homes are state-of-the-art projects that prioritize contextual aesthetics, sustainability, great design, and&mdash;of course&mdash;attainability. They have been thoughtfully wrought to maximize efficiency in order to keep building costs low, allowing for the new homes to enter the market at below-median prices and still remain profitable to our investors."<br></p> https://archinect.com/news/article/150152547/aia-la-chapter-issues-nine-point-plan-to-help-address-homelessness-in-los-angeles AIA|LA chapter issues nine point plan to help address homelessness in Los Angeles Antonio Pacheco 2019-08-16T12:00:00-04:00 >2022-03-16T09:16:08-04:00 <img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/bc/bc8eece266b8594d3601db8444d29c23.jpg?fit=crop&auto=compress%2Cformat&enlarge=true&w=1200" border="0" /><em><p>Due to many factors, now more than ever, LA architects have a responsibility to offer solutions and creative resources to solve this crisis immediately &mdash; as if our currently 59,000+ unsheltered Angelenos were displaced by an earthquake or a wildfire.</p></em><br /><br /><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd"> <html><head><meta></head></html>
