SUMMARY:Century Villages at Cabrillo
DESCRIPTION:Photography Credit: Nahid LaCiura \nArchitecture Firm: The Architects Collective \nFull Credit List Below \nTOUR DETAILS\n“Homes are the cornerstone of a thriving and just society.” \nAIA Los Angeles & AIA Long Beach / South Bay are very pleased to introduce our communities to Century Villages at Cabrillo (CVC): an inspiring and beautifully planned community designed to provide quality affordable housing and onsite supportive services. \nLocated in Long Beach\, CA\, Century Villages at Cabrillo (CVC) sits on 27 acres and is home to over 2\,000 residents on any given night\, including veterans\, families\, and individuals with special needs. CVC offers both permanent and transitional housing\, complemented by a network of services and amenities with a range of collaborators. \nEstablished in 1997\, CVC transformed a former Naval housing base near the Port of Long Beach into a thriving community. By bringing together service providers\, many of whom operate directly onsite\, CVC leverages a collective-impact approach to break the cycle of homelessness for its residents. (Collective impact is a framework where organizations from different sectors work together towards a common goal.) Nearly every resident in permanent housing at CVC maintained their housing after one year—a testament to its success. \nAs the backbone organization\, CVC serves as the steward\, manager\, and coordinator of the Villages community. CVC is a nonprofit affiliate of Century Housing\, a group dedicated to financing\, developing\, and managing quality affordable housing across California. \nClick here to learn more about Century Villages at Cabrillo. \n  \nTOUR HOSTS\n \nRichard Prantis\, AIA\, LEED AP – Founding Principal\, The Architects Collective (TAC) \nRichard Prantis is the Founding Principal of Los Angeles-based The Architects Collective (TAC). Inspired by a mission to enrich lives through the practice of architecture\, Richard’s work is focused on affordable housing in an effort to bring excellent design to those in need. Richard is concerned with the design of space and how it is experienced; indeed\, architecture can evoke a sense of engagement\, beauty\, joy\, dignity and security. Richard applies to the practice over 30 years of experience inarchitectural design\, construction detailing and construction observation\, providing insight and leadership on all TAC projects.  Drawing inspiration from the regional context\, Richard leads the analysis and design of buildings that integrate the honest expression of building materials\, energy-efficient building design and connection to the outdoors. Richard has served on various AIA|LA committees focused on the intersection of public policy\, design and homelessness and regularly lends his expertise to juries at architectural design programs throughout southern California. Whether traveling locally or internationally\, Richard enjoys full immersion into a culture\, observing urban form\, public realm\, housing typologies\, lifestyle\, history\, art and music. \n \nKimberly Wee – Executive Director\, Century Villages at Cabrillo (CVC) \nAs Executive Director of Century Villages at Cabrillo and Vice President of Residential Services\, Ms. Wee oversees the services offered to residents in Century’s supportive housing developments.

Participants will analyze how integrated campus planning and circulation design at Century Villages at Cabrillo (CVC) – a 27-acre supportive housing community serving low-income\, formerly homeless individuals\, families\, and Veterans – support health\, safety\, and welfare outcomes by improving accessibility\, wayfinding\, and connections between housing\, healthcare\, and social services for vulnerable populations. \n\n\n\n2. Participants will evaluate how design strategies for supportive care—such as co-locating housing\, clinics\, and social services—can enhance resident stability\, promote healing and help break the cycle of homelessness\, including the integration of health and wellness into the built environment through amenities such as on-site fitness facilities\, outdoor recreation spaces (including a basketball court)\, and an expanding urban forest that supports both physical and mental health. \n\n\n\n3. Participants will assess how sustainable site design elements\, including stormwater capture within shared open spaces and pedestrian-oriented planning\, contribute to environmental performance while fostering safe\, healthy\, and socially connected community environments. They will also have a chance to explore how new buildings at CVC achieve LEED Gold or Platinum certification\, incorporating advanced energy efficiency features and award-winning environmental practices. \n\n\n4. Participants will explore how human-centered\, trauma-informed care-focused design interventions—such as activated ground floors\, multi-functional community spaces\, and opportunities for informal interaction—can improve mental health\, social cohesion\, and overall quality of life for residents and neighboring communities\, including the site’s relationship to public transit and how design decisions enhance mobility\, community engagement\, and access to essential services.\n  \nFULL CREDIT LIST – Building Credits        \nThe Cove\nGeneral Contractor: Walton Construction Services\nStructural Engineer: David Choi & Associates\nLandscape Architect: MJS Landscape Architecture\nInterior Design: Aylin Inel\n        \nAnchor Place\nGeneral Contractor: Walton Construction Services\nStructural Engineer: David Choi & Associates\nLandscape Architect: RELM\nInterior Designer: Collaborative House\n       \nCabrillo Gateway\nGeneral Contractor: Walton Construction Services\nStructural Engineer: David Choi & Associates\nLandscape Architect: Melendrez (now RELM)\nInterior Designer: JAG Interiors\n       \nPlaza\nGeneral Contractor: Walton Construction Services\nStructural Engineer: N/A\nLandscape Architect: N/A\n\nInterior Designer: Aylin Inel \n\n\nFor CVC projects\, civil engineering plays a significant role\, and the civil engineer across projects is ARDURRA.
