A garage in Historic Filipinotown is transformed into Council_St, an artist’s studio and exhibition space, by LA-based architecture firm Formation Association
Council_St in Los Angeles' Historic Filipinotown was born out of an urban transformation. The project, a design feat led by John K Chan of local architecture studio Formation Association, involved the reimagining and expansion of a 200 sq ft garage into an 815 sq ft artist studio and exhibition space. For owner and artist Kent Young, the new structure is a place to share his own practice.
On rooting this project within the residential neighbourhood context, Chan explains: 'We’re using the common vocabulary of everyday building materials, but speaking and communicating in a different way.'A chain-link gate opens onto a gravel yard between Young’s residence and the new studio, guiding visitors inside. The façade's shingle cladding is interpolated with unfinished cedar wood, and punctuated by an orthogonal awning window.
