Black Being is a yoga studio located in the heart of Inglewood intended to meet the wellbeing needs of Black residents of South Los Angeles. office42 architecture was enlisted to remodel the 1750 sf nonprofit community space into a large calming sanctuary for yoga, meditation, and movement that encourages physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. The project also included two small wellness rooms for private clients and a front check-in room with storage space for class participants. Our design team also added ADA upgrades to an existing bathroom and retrofitted a previously unusable back door into a new exit door from the back of the building.
