26 Point 2 Apartments, designed for Excelerate Housing Group, is a 5-story permanent supportive housing project in Long Beach, California, comprising 48,000 square feet of residential and amenity spaces. The building’s lifted form spans the perimeter of the site, lining a generous courtyard and exterior light-filled circulation. The residential volume hovers over the site on a series of columns, arching over the common amenity volume. Amenities, staff, and supportive spaces are located along the west and north edges of the site and bound the outdoor parking area underneath the building. A fully glazed street level enclosure allows the ground plane to move uninterrupted across the interior, preserving a perceptual connection to the city beyond while maintaining a protected experience for the occupants. The scale and massing of the building is stepped along the residential street in a series of house-shaped forms that engage the scale and image of the neighboring context. These forms remain compatible with the scale and form of both the commercial corridor to the north, and the residential neighborhood to the east.
