LACAN Ground Breaking Ceremony!
We've recently been working with LA Community Action Network on a new headquarters in Skid Row where they can do the most help! Today was the groundbreaking ceremony in their new headquarters and the ceremony was as touching as the organization itself!

Fenton STEM Academy & Fenton Leadership Academy Post Occupancy and Photographs
One of the most exciting parts of any project is the day the team gets to go back, once every little detail is finished and take photographs of all their hard work. Along with this we often tie in what we call Post Occupancy Reviews. In these we speak to a wide variety of now users of the project and ask them a series of questions about the space we created.
With school now in session at Fenton STEM Academy & Fenton Leadership Academy we could not wait to head back and ask the teachers and students what they thought, along with talk to Principals Jennifer and Lee that we had been working so closely with all along. We learned a lot during these Post Occupancy reviews, but most importantly we learned that they loved their new school and that when parents saw the fun, modern, bright design that they couldn't wait to sign their students up! Check out the photos Tom Bonner of Tom Bonner Photography helped us get of our design!
Temple Beth Sholom - Channel Glass Installation
Last week the Channel Glass was put in place at the chapel at Temple Beth Sholom. Each plank is 10" wide and 20' tall. There are 144 planks that encompass a complete 360 degrees. It was so exciting seeing these put into place!
Temple Beth Sholom Return and Renewal
We were so excited last night to join Temple Beth Sholom for their Return and Renewal! It's been so great working with such a great congregation to help them return home.
Below is an article published in the OC Register on their return.

Harbor College Marquee Sign
we climbed to the top of the new Los Angeles Harbor College marquee sign we designed, yesterday. What a view!
Temple Beth Sholom - Renderings Come to Life
It was so exciting to visit the construction site at Temple Beth Sholom this week as the columns were put in place we began to notice how the building is really started to take shape! We took a ton of photos in excitement, but what we loved most was comparing a photo we took from across the street to one of the initial renderings we did of the temple.
