office42 architecture provided the interiors for the Crest Apartments, a 63-unit formerly-homeless housing project designed by Michael Maltzan Architecture. The interior material palette and furniture selections were driven by the clean and light aesthetic of the building design. The studio rooms include custom-designed beds and drawer sets that meet the needs of the tenants: easy to clean, bed-bug resistant, and modern but with a warm aesthetic. The exterior lounges and dining areas also have custom tables and benches of white metal powder-coated frames and sealed redwood. Both pre-made and custom furniture met the tight budget of Skid Row Housing Trust.
