Affordable housing made with artists in mind, Art Ark’s Factory and Cottages are joined by a performance plaza and feature an on-site gallery and open courts to display large works.
The Art Ark in San Jose is made up of 148 affordable rental artist units in two distinct neighborhoods: the Factory and the Cottages. A performance plaza joins these two districts.
The gallery space provides a resource for both the residents and the district. It hosts an active program of shows and events.
The Cottages building references the single family bungalows located on South Sixth Street. Gabled roof forms, private balconies, and porches linked to walk-up stoops, mimic the homes across the street from the development.
