Project Overview:
Isla Intersections is organized as series of sixteen staggered boxes assembled out of three 20x8ft modular containers. The units are stacked and arranged into towers that are connected by a series of walkways to create a single unified building. We used modular containers shortening construction time to 30 months instead of 45. While the project is predominantly residential and green space, the ground level along the paseo will provide storefront spaces for retail, job training and support services. This marketplace and paseo will also serve as a “living lung,” helping to filter diesel particulates and air pollutants
