A partnership between Leroy Street Studio and Living City Project, The Workshop is an interdisciplinary team dedicated to the participatory design of community-oriented capital projects.
We bring community engagement, architectural expertise, design education, and funding to underserved communities eager to build, empowering local residents and organizations to contribute to the design of their built environment and make a more resilient, equitable and livable city.
Leroy Street Studio is a team of award winning architects inspired by innovation in design, the craft of construction, and a collaborative approach that places clients’ needs at the center of the design process.
