When We Lived Together

_When We Lived Together can be understood as an open urban landscape that can be explored, occupied and appropriated by its inhabitants as well as its surrounding community: both a metaphorical and literal playground for affordable, innovative, and inclusive family living that ultimately supports parents and their kids to seek opportunities towards a better dwelling, educational and vocational future.     
     



When We Lived Together is a limited equity housing co-operative that accommodates highly needed dwelling space for a diverse range of family structures. Placed on Vermont Avenue right across USC, the co-op aims to provide highly needed affordable housing units for the neighborhood’s community. The project creates a microcosm of different dwelling setups paired with a variety of programs and spaces aimed at families in general, and kids in particular.
