Jonathan Segal Architecture has redeveloped an old textile warehouse in San Diego. 50% of this new block recieves its energy from photovoltaic panels. They are also affordable because of the use of a revitalized building and provide a mixture of different unit types. There are 16 units located along the block with considerable light and ventilation between each, provided by the private outdoor patios.

I love the idea of this block. Revitalizing old warehouses really opens up the doors to many opportunities. The overall look off these units is stunning, with a sort of industrial feel yet still seem like a comfortable environment to live in. Even though the units are very close together, green space is still incorporated into the blocks design. Since everyone enjoys there own outdoor space, this adds to these unit’s appeal. I would love to live here!
