Truax Lofts, San Diego, USA
The preservation of a historic Craftsman with a deep-rooted history served as the center of this community-focused project. Originally built in 1912, the house played a vital role in San Diego’s LGBTQ history by serving as the only hospice for patients during the 1980s AIDS epidemic.
NDD expertly restored the dilapidated structure while simultaneously developing the adjacent infill plots of sharply sloped land. The result is a unique, multi-residential building that shares a courtyard with its sleek new sister residence.
Named for Dr. Brad Truax, an AIDS awareness and prevention leader, the historically preserved house features 10 unique studios plus a multi-purpose community room. The adjacent sister lofts are an architectural gem: NDD maximized this otherwise unusable space providing workforce housing units (including four very low income units to aid in alleviating the housing crisis) while providing maximum natural light and stunning views.
NDD was named as a Grand Award winner for this project at the 2020 PCBC Golden Nugget Awards and was honored for the Judges Special Award of Excellence.
The LEED certified properties were designed using passive and prescriptive sustainable measures. The entire project is a testament to the blend of vintage and modern architecture for which Bankers Hill is known.
