From the Site: Lake Forest Construction Progress

Project Update // See below for a few progress photos from a recent site visit to a new build nearby- a contemporary workshop and studio in Lake Forest.

Buried into the hillside at the rear of the property, the building is accessed via a series of concrete steps and retaining walls that lead down the site to the open structure below, barely visible from above to minimize view obstruction and impact.

Once inside, the open space features exposed structural elements, including formed concrete, cmu block and steel trusses, to reflect a clean industrial aesthetic in the context of a suburban neighborhood.
