https://www.dezeen.com/2021/10/22/canyon-drive-housing-complex-los-angeles-loha/
American firm LOHA has completed a row of sculptural, metal-clad homes in Los Angeles that is meant to explore possibilities for the "small lot subdivision typology".
The Canyon Drive project is located near Hollywood, just south of Beachwood Canyon. Totalling 10,000 square feet (929 square metres), the housing development consists of five, three-story units on a slender, rectangular lot.
The project was informed by the City of LA's Small Lot Subdivision Ordinance, which was initiated by smart growth proponents and adopted in 2005.
"The ordinance aimed to encourage the construction of smaller, more affordable infill housing to target first-time home buyers in an increasingly unaffordable market," said local studio LOHA.

but still. Hope they don't all end up VRBO's and AirBnb's.
