Los Angeles-based C.R. Laurence Co. Inc.[1] custom designed and engineered its Series DPS200C Deluxe Perforated Panel System with aluminum substructure framing to create an ornamental effect at the 28th Street YMCA, Los Angeles, inspired by the YMCA’s original 1926 design.

C.R. Laurence collaborated with Koning Eizenberg Architecture, Santa Monica, Calif., to identify problem-solving solutions for the project, which was designed with a slim, steel-and-wood-framed building that contains additional studio apartments. C.R. Laurence also fabricated Vertical Sunshade Systems to help control interior temperatures for the LEED Gold-targeted, adaptive reuse project.

The 28th Street YMCA project won numerous awards including the American Institute of Architects’ (AIA) Los Angeles Honor Award, AIA California Council Merit Award, World Architecture Festival Housing Award, finalist for the Australian Institute of Architecture Award, California Preservation Foundation Awards and the LA Conservancy Preservation Award.
