Mie Ayam (Indonesian Chicken Noodle)
One of my dream : bring this taste to the world
by Michael Maltzan Architecture
Just south of Los Angeles’ fast-growing downtown, and immediately adjacent to the I-10 freeway, Skid Row Housing Trust’s 57,000 SF New Carver Apartments was built to explore how architecture can foster positive changes for highly vulnerable and dramatically underserved occupants. Situated nearly a mile from the heart of Skid Row, the project’s 97 units provide permanent housing for formerly homeless elderly and disabled residents – building a place for solace, support, and individual growth in contrast to the city’s chronic issue of homelessness.
The New Carver Apartments aim to construct not only a new optimism for public space and public housing but to form an armature for change through the architectural program, organization, and form. By incorporating communal spaces – kitchens, dining areas, gathering spaces and gardens – into the Carver’s raised form and medical/social services support facilities into the lower portion, the project allows its residents to begin to reconnect with each other and the city at large.
