This non-profit organization focuses on the essential time spent between a parent and his/her child who is currently away in foster care. The project started with pro-bono schematic design featuring movable storage and activity cabinets to create an open flexible space – empowering the users.

While the client’s maintenance concerns removed the movable millwork from the scope, we adapted the design with a playful, undulating partition with cabinets. This piece offers various activity zones for each family to distinguish their experience.

This project was slated to start construction in January 2009 with a negotiated contract and approved permits pending. Unfortunately the financial crisis and its impact on non-profit donors put this project on an indefinite hold.
