Transitional housing and day program activities for the homeless mentally ill operate in this renovated light commercial building. Generous floor-to-ceiling heights and large column grid allows for a flexible design, abundant natural light and open airy spaces. Exterior materials include wood veneer composite panels and landscaped metal screen trellises. Skylights flood the interior space with natural light and translucent panels control the diffused sunlight on western and southern exposures.
