Curbed LA had an interesting write-up recently on the vicissitudes of buying and evaluating vacant lots in Los Angeles and interviewed CHA:COL. We support the idea of educating people about the hidden complexities behind vacant properties, with actual examples of projects in planning and construction. CHA:COL will be presenting on the topic this June at Dwell on Design, so do keep an eye out for it.
“it’s unlikely you’ll be the first person to ask questions about a particular piece of land in Los Angeles, says Apurva Pande, principal of the architecture firm CHA:COL. In other words, there’s probably a reason why someone hasn’t already built a home there.”

Dezeen gave Writer's Block a really nice design feature today. Loved to see them describe how the process rolled together writing, design and graphics influences into a spatial entity.

We're really excited seeing Skybox, our workplace project in downtown, for urban planning firm HR&A features in Kontakt Mag today. We had a great time working through creative ideas on this project, perched high up in The Bloc complex here in downtown Los Angeles.
