THE OVERLOOK HABITAT LAB

LIVE-WORK SPACE, MT. WILSON

Resting on the summit of Mount Wilson and being just a short walk away from the historic Mount Wilson observatory, the Overlook Habitat Lab provides facilities for researchers and the general public to stop and learn more about the site and its adjacent areas.

The design consists of two cantilevering bar structures positioned in a way that provides the best views of the mountain scape towards the east while focusing back on the main observatory structures in the west. Each bar serves a specific function, one being housing and the other containing lab spaces for research. Connecting these structures is a central common space offering ample light and extensive views of the environment. The facade is composed of operable aluminum louvered panels allowing the inhabitants to adjust the amount of light and privacy within the space at any time.

Located not far from downtown L.A. in the arts district, the Make-Shift Fabrication Center transforms a former warehouse into a lively community hub where locals can engage in the art of creating through utilizing a variety of workshops, studios, and exhibition spaces.

The design works with the original structure and plan of the warehouse in order to establish open workspaces and machine shop areas. A bar of program was added to separate the main workshop and machine shop for acoustic reasons, and to provide additional amenities and utility services. The expressive steel structure was revealed and painted red as an homage to the locations industrial history. A three story tower was introduced to the site to add more community spaces, such as a cafe and classrooms. The tower design also reflects the area’s industrial past with exposed red structural elements painted to match the existing building.

PREMIERE PLAZA

COMMUNITY HOUSING, SANTA ANA

Located near downtown Santa Ana, Premiere Plaza housing development focuses on providing all residents access to usable outdoor spaces, opportunities for ground-level retail and a community-centered second floor.

The design is split into three separate zones, first floor utility/retail, second floor plaza, and the unit mix on levels three through six. Outdoor spaces were prioritized in this development leading to an open second floor accessed through the use of two monumental stairs providing residents and members of the community with areas for relaxation, fitness and the ability to just get some fresh air. The units above are positioned in a way allowing for spacious balconies along with open-air outdoor terraces where residents can enjoy the outdoors from the comfort of their own floor.

LEIMERT CULTURAL CENTER

COMMUNITY CENTER AND EXHIBITION SPACE, LEIMERT PARK

Positioned on a corner lot across the street from the historic art-deco style Leimert Park Theatre, the Leimert Cultural Center seeks to provide the community with spaces for gathering, learning and well as providing local artists with space to display their work.

The design is derived by using a grid to plan where each of the program spaces is to be located and its approximate size. A monumental stair running the entire width of the building on the east side was placed in order to create a smooth flow of circulation spanning all four floors and basement level. The stair also serves to foster social interaction through people walking past each other on their way up or down. Glazing is placed in a way that emphasizes certain landmarks such as the park across the street and the Leimert Park Theatre. A stadium style stair reinforces this concept by connecting the ground floor and basement levels.

DESIGN PROCESS

NINE PLANES

SPATIAL DIAGRAM

The design of the Leimert Cultural Center is derived by making careful use of a grid scheme. Early in the design process, a variable grid scheme was placed upon a series of nine planes. Certain solid elements of the grid were removed from the planes denoted by an “x” in the space that was to be removed. These planes formed the x, y, and z axis from which a cube was constructed. A portion of the constructed cube was then selected to be built into the study model shown below. Through analyzing the volumes and spatial relationships created by this process, the community center began to take form. This method allowed the project to balance systematic order with spatial openness, responding to both programmatic needs and community use. PHYSICAL

Leimert Park Community Atrs Center

The proposed Community Center in Leimert Park creates an atmosphere of connectivity and communal empowerment for the residents of the area. The design of this community center is regulated by its incorporation of a grid organizational system that creates adaptability and versatility in all major public spaces. This grid system acts as both the architectural backbone of the building and a canvas for creating a wide variety of public spaces. This organizational system also helps define the diverse areas within the center that include spaces for artistic expression, collaborative learning, recreational activities and communal gatherings.

Each of these spaces serve to facilitate community driven events, artistic expression and encourage social interaction among residents.

Adding additional elements along with removing certain portions of the pre-existing grid allows for greater manipulation with regards to the enclosure of certain program spaces. This varying degree of enclosure throughout the building not only enriches the functional aspects of the building, but also reflects the cultural diversity and individual preferences within the community.

Working alongside the grid, it supports the vision of a space that accommodates various activities fostering a sense of belonging and inclusivity among all residents.

A defining feature of this community Hub is its telescopic spaces strategically positioned on the upper floors. These telescopic structures offer panoramic views, capturing the essence of the surrounding Leimert Park neighborhood including the historical Vision Theater. Visitors ascend to these elevated spaces, unveiling breathtaking views that reflect the richness of the community’s cultural heritage. These telescopic areas not only offer a glimpse of the city space but also serve as contemplative retreats, along with spaces that foster creativity and learning.

In essence this Innovative architectural endeavor is poised to redefine the notion of community space, fostering inclusivity and unity all while celebrating the tapestry of Leimert Park’s rich heritage. Through its thoughtful design and panoramic perspectives, the center stands as a testament to the harmonious fusion between the built environment and community empowerment.
