Not far from THE SIX, a 34,000-square-foot South L.A. veteran’s-housing complex called MLK1101 is slated for completion within the next 18 months. Designed by local firm Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects (LOHA), the 26-unit building, estimated to come in at $11 million funded by grants through affordable housing developer Clifford Beers Housing, shares THE SIX’s goals of reintegrating veterans into normal life. Both projects involved veterans and veteransupport groups to conceptualize their designs; consequently, the two share many of the same amenities: an all-white color scheme (“because of its optimistic qualities,” according to LOHA’s Patricia Bacalao), elevator access to every floor, a rooftop patio, exterior walkways, and community vegetable gardens.
