Alexandria Park Tiny Home Village is a development of 103 micro homes designed by Lehrer Architects to provide homeless housing in Los Angeles.
Located on a narrow plot in a park in North Hollywood, the brightly coloured complex can house up to 200 people at a time in its gabled shelters.

The eight-foot-wide (2.4 metres) square-shaped cabins, which can accommodate one or two people, are made by Pallet, a manufacturer of homeless shelters based in Washington State.
Alexandria Park Tiny Home Village is named after the park it sits in, near the 170 Freeway. The project is a collaboration between local practice Lehrer Architects and architects and engineers from the Los Angeles City Bureau of Engineering.

He ended up on the street not through a single event, but a slippery chain of them: the death of his mother last year followed by the pandemic, which left him in an emotional and economic lurch.

Carolina A. Miranda, who as you’ll see has been immersing herself in architectural solutions for people who are unhoused.
