This $13.6 million, 32-unit apartment project is a response to the City of San Diego’s Complete Communities Housing Solutions initiative, which encourages infill development that achieves performance, economy and livability. For the LeParc Apartments, builders used running-bond CMU for a clean and modern “stacked” look. Requiring only one person to lay and place each box, finishing exteriors and interiors simultaneously, this approach streamlined the construction process. The result is a structure that stands up to the city’s coastal climate while making a striking artistic statement.
