Rock Row LEED-certified subdivision townhomes

( Barbara Davidson / Los Angeles Times / February 4, 2013 )

As the region grows more dense, architects and developers continue to look for ways to create new types of living arrangements — in the case of Rock Row, something that’s more than a condo but less than a traditional single-family residence. It is one of several developments to take advantage of Los Angeles’ relatively new small-lot subdivision code that allows for multiple houses set close together on tiny lots.

The houses range from a two-bedroom, two-bath home with 1,310 square feet of living space in two stories to a three-story, three-bedroom, three-bath home with 1,605 square feet. Ten-foot ceilings and recessed cove lights achieve a sense of spaciousness and openness.

Here, a living room on the second floor of a three-story model unit.
