Project: Children’s Bureau Family Center at Magnolia Place
Location: Los Angeles
Organization: Children’s Bureau of Southern California, a nonprofit leader in the treatment and prevention of child abuse and neglect for more than 100 years.
Population Served: The new Family Center provides children and their families with a preschool, playground, meeting space and family counseling and activity rooms. The facility also houses administrative and support areas, as well as a commercial tenant wing, offering a medical clinic, legal services, and financial counseling for families in need.
Architect: Rios Clementi Hale Studios
Design highlights: The industrial feel of the former 60,000-square-foot credit card manufacturing facility was softened with the use of different varieties of wood, custom-designed wallpaper, creative paint colors and bold graphics. A central “cloud chamber”—a trapezoidal lightbox sporting custom cloud and sky prints that drops down into the central space—ushers natural light into the interior through a series of skylights. Diamond saw-cut patterns in the façades of the building allowed the architects to punch out small windows to bring additional light inside. The preschool’s eight classrooms were organized along the building’s western side and open onto an adjacent courtyard and spacious playground area.

On the whole, making and
On the whole, making and doing seem the same in LA. however, seeing as skybet has become so popular. there is now a gap. Make the gap smaller please.
Before you help any
Before you help any organization, it is important to find out what are their goals, what services they provide and what volunteers and advocates do. This will help you narrow down your choices. Helping hand is better than praying lips. Thanks!

The minds of teens can be
The minds of teens can be very fragile and if they are not given proper attention it could have bad results for them. For the parents of a troubled child its a very tough thing to be faced with. Residential treatment offers a safe environment where such teens can be given counseling to help them recover from the problems they face.

We are also a gathering place for the community to meet, share and socialize with their families and neighbors.
