The Center is a bold experiment in addressing the needs of those most at risk of recidivism and disintegration from society. For the first time, this project provides LA County Probation a one-stop-shop for people in need of critical rehabilitative support. The goal of the community-facing project is to provide a new narrative to a potentially intimidating experience. The inclusive and diverse environment where movement is fluid, light is harnessed, and optimism is revealed, directly supports the County's efforts to continue developing alternatives to incarceration. Through a broad design concept of transformation, we changed the building to support a carefully orchestrated sequence of external and internal experiences that are gradual and welcoming.
