EL PEDREGAL APARTMENTS
San Ysidro, CA

El Pedregal Apartments is a forty five unit, inclusionary housing community located in the border city of San Ysidro, CA. To take full advantage of the long, narrow site, the project is broken into three buildings: A two story structure over subterranean parking garage occupies the top of the site while the fully equipped Community Center with managers units above are sited in the center of the property. Finally, a three story slab-on-grade structure sits at the bottom of the project, directly across the street from the new Southwestern College building. The architectural style of El Pedregal plays off the architecture of the Southwest College structure, creating a design node that we hope will encourage further design-oriented development in the area. Bold accent colors give a nod to the colorful culture of the area.
