UCLA Glenrock student housing, Los Angeles CA
Designed as Daniel Solomon Design Partners with STUDIOS, 2015
John Ellis Project Designer with Daniel Solomon, Nick Wai-Poi, Mohammad Momin
UCLA Glenrock is a 46 (68 bed) apartment project for undergraduate students located on a steeply sloping site in Westwood close to the UCLA campus. The design consists of two buildings on either side of a stepped courtyard. The architectural language recalls the work of Richard Neutra’s Midcentury Modernism on nearby sites. Sunshading elements animate the facades.
The 1,000 sq ft apartments consist of two-bedrooms each with an ensuite bathroom and a shared living space. The design could thus be converted back to a private apartment building if UCLA ever chose to move out and sell the project.
The design pays homage to Neutra's nearby mid-Century Modern apartments.
The courtyard steps up the slope to a terrace seating area.
