Design image of Community Partners for the Common Good’s (CPCG) study for a new Community Center in Humboldt Park, Chicago.
The new Center was planned to replace an existing condemned neighborhood church with a facility that would serve the spiritual needs of this community, and provide education, health, and social services.
Interior view the Community Center lobby and reception desk. The natural materials of concrete and wood help create a warm and textural environment.
