This project represents the expansion and renovation of a non-profit center in Los Angeles where individuals can recover from addiction and learn how to properly heal. Located on a 1 acre urban campus in a light industrial/transitional neighborhood along a major 6-lane artery, the center offers residents a therapeutic community where principals of Jewish spirituality combined with 12-step and psychotherapy guide residents on a path to healing the whole self. The architect let the unique ethos inspire the design solutions.
The center desired new, larger flexible community spaces and additional offices. A former retail building was renovated and connected to the existing facility. The primary gathering space had to perform numerous functions: resident dining, group therapy, fitness and yoga, and was to serve as a sanctuary for religious services. The new, intensely tectonic exterior creates a new unified identity for the donor dependent center while giving dignity and purpose to the mostly young residents. Exterior shading devices also provide filtered light to give south-facing spaces a remarkably soft, transcendent glow.
Inside, a clean, crisp aesthetic provides a metaphorical—and literal—blank canvas for the display of art produced by the residents. The architect kept a simple palette of white for the lower surfaces, but created more impact on higher surfaces; for example, on the coved ceiling of the Sanctuary. The intent of having rich textures overhead and light from above was to lift-up one’s gaze and in doing so, uplift the person to greater potential, self-confidence and spiritual guidance.
