Construction is progressing for The Helm, our most recent affordable housing project for Affirmed Housing located on Front & Beech in Downtown San Diego’s Little Italy neighborhood. The U shaped configuration was purposefully orientated west to maximize views to the bay. Interior and exterior interplay come alive at the ground plane with communal uses, and at the third-level 1,200 sf landscaped courtyard with contiguous amenity uses. Bold architectural moves celebrate the corner of Front and Beech, at the street and the distinct corner expressions of the building. Material choices accentuate massing relationships and add to the overall design intent, further layering with projected balconies and oriel windows.
