Avenel Cooperative Housing Project, Cooperative housing project in Silver Lake, Los Angeles, US.

The Avenel Cooperative Housing Project consists of ten identical three-bedroom units arranged in two rows of five, stepping back from the street in a pattern.

Architect Gregory Ain designed this residential complex in 1947, creating a model for effective use of limited space in urban housing development.

The original residents included progressive political figures, with four members facing investigation by the House Un-American Activities Committee during the McCarthy era.

Each 960-square-foot unit features a private back patio and sliding walls between rooms, allowing residents to modify their living spaces according to needs.

The residences incorporate a saw-tooth arrangement that provides each unit with optimal privacy while maintaining a connection to the surrounding community.
