We’re honored that The Journey, our supportive housing project for Venice Community Housing, is featured in The Angeleno Porch — a model installation curated by FORT:LA and Frances Anderton — as part of the American Pavilion at the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale, Porch: The Architecture of Generosity.
We’re honored that The Journey — our 100% affordable, supportive housing project for Venice Community Housing, featured in The Angeleno Porch, a model installation at the American Pavilion of the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale.
Curated by FORT:LA and Frances Anderton, The Angeleno Porch is one of 50 projects that show how porches, terraces, walkways, and shared spaces can build connection, care, and community across Los Angeles.
Designed by Studio One Eleven, The Journey offers stability and dignity to transition-age youth, families, and formerly unhoused individuals in Venice. With layered outdoor spaces and a rooftop terrace overlooking the Pacific, the project invites moments of beauty, belonging, and unexpected connection.
The Angeleno Porch comprises a structure made of six spaces that evoke the social function of porches: courtyard, staircase, walkway, bridge, terrace, and roof deck. The exhibit was imagined as an immersive spatial journey through these interwoven porch elements (color-coded by typology) reinforcing themes of connection, neighborliness, and community.
The Journey’s presence in the model installation is represented by the terrace at the top of the building, looking outward to expansive views of Venice Beach and beyond, a space of reflection, openness, and potential.
We’re proud to be featured alongside firms like Brooks + Scarpa, Koning Eizenberg, Kevin Daly Architects, Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects, and Michael Maltzan Architecture, all redefining what an architecture of generosity looks like in LA.
“Sometimes I just come up here (to the 4th Floor), to catch a vibe, and I run into someone else, and we wind up talking, and sometimes it lasts for hours. I think all apartments should have some sort of a space for everyone to share. But especially a place like this, it’s especially important because you need a community after going through a tough time. It’s hard to be alone. It’s hard to go through things by yourself, and a place to share with others that are in the same boat as you, it’s priceless.”
