Another interesting point is the allocation of a large part of the grounds of this complex to the creation of a common space, from the inside to the outside, open to the community. The project was a challenge for a depressed area of Los Angeles, and at the same time an opportunity to create a unique community space expressed in the crafts, color and materials.
