West Humboldt Park, Chicago, IL

1996

Located on west Division Street, the LUCHA West Humboldt Park Residence is a 68-unit, single room occupancy (SRO) building. The SRO fills a community need for affordable housing for working people by providing residents with units that are compact and efficient, each containing a kitchenette and a shared bathroom. Common spaces on the ground floor include a management office, community space and public lobby opening to an exterior garden. 20% of the units and all the common spaces meet accessibility requirements and an elevator was provided to access all the floors. LBBA designed and installed site-specific, custom Knothead furniture for the units and public spaces which increased resident livability.
