EYRC’s Leimert Park Community Fridge project was designed and built by ten young practitioners in collaboration with the Leimert Park Chapter of Los Angeles Community Fridges. In 2021, the firm’s Design Justice Committee worked with LACF organizers to create a structure that could protect and improve the functionality of an existing community fridge. The design added 85 sf of storage and housing for the refrigerator, all beneath a simple roof of corrugated plastic.
“An incredibly thoughtful project that serves the needs of the community in an equitable way.”
