Aerial view of Casa de Carmen in Oxnard, a mid-rise apartment building in white and gray with mustard-gold panels and teal window accents. A tall mural of orange gladiolus and a striped sun disk reads “CASA DE CARMEN.” Street-level storefronts face the sidewalk; a raised courtyard and tuck-under parking sit behind. A red-tile roof is in the foreground; palms and neighborhood houses stretch beyond.

Project Facts: 56 Residential Units · 110-Bed Navigation Center · 5 Stories · Permanent Supportive Housing

Project Year: 2025

Project Role: Architecture + Interior Design

Additional Capabilities: Planning

Originally known as 2nd and B Street, Casa de Carmen combines permanent supportive housing with an emergency shelter in downtown Oxnard. ADC designed the original five-story concept with a 110-bed Navigation Center at street level and 56 residential units above, creating a direct connection between emergency shelter, supportive services, and permanent housing.

The design incorporates a public entry plaza, private resident courtyard, community and service spaces, and outdoor amenities intended to support stability, connection, and dignity. Completed in 2025, Casa de Carmen now provides 55 permanent supportive homes plus one manager’s unit, with the Navigation Center serving individuals experiencing homelessness on the ground floor.
