In the heart of Chinatown's vibrant, pedestrian-friendly community, this live-work space is located on a walking-street in the gallery district. Architects Ali Jeevanjee and Poonam Sharma of LOC Architecture merged two existing apartments together around a central courtyard dining room, forming a rare outdoor living space amongst urban density. Built in 1950, the property also includes a 1,200 sq. ft. gallery and a basement. The property is designed to stay cool through natural ventilation, with the courtyard allowing convection currents through the building. Spaces around the courtyard are configured for maximum functionality and daylight. The ceilings are raised two feet higher than the original, allowing for clerestory lighting. A rear balcony provides additional garden space and incredible views of the downtown skyline. Updates to the original structure include modern plumbing, electrical work, roofing, windows, central air, and seismic strengthening.
