Would Works Artisans are Artists in Residence at Lehrer Architects LA!
We're thrilled to announce our October residency at Lehrer Architects LA in Silver Lake.
We are holding work sessions in the firm's workshop (or RaD Room) with eight women from the Downtown Women's Center on Mondays and Wednesdays this month.
Committed both to designing dignified housing solutions for people experiencing homelessness in LA and to fostering a hands-on creative culture through their Artist in Residence Program, Lehrer Architects LA is perfectly aligned with Would Works' mission.
Lehrer's approach to design grows out of deep love and respect for the community and unwavering focus on its improvement. They are currently working on designing new solutions to permanent supportive housing through the Rethink Housing Initiative. They also have a broad portfolio of supportive housing projects which all focus on creating sustainable, healthy and dignified environments to empower residents with a feeling of stability and well-being.
Inspired by the professional design atmosphere and the eclectic beauty of spalted sycamore, our Artisans are having fun with the LA City Blocks they are sanding.
Special thanks to Roberto Sheinberg, Director of Design at Lehrer Architects and Would Works Board President; Connie Taylor at the Downtown Women's Center, for fantastic referrals; and Aliza Miner of the Larchmont Charter School for the delicious lunch donations!

Old California Designs Supports New Southern California Workforce
If you have lovingly restored an old Craftsman home, with its dark wood, stained glass, and hand-crafted built-in cabinets, chances are you’re not going to shop for light fixtures at Home Depot.
You’ll make the pilgrimage to Old California in Orange, which individually handcrafts home goods inspired by historical design.
