Concrete Flow
is a sports and wellness facility in Watts, Los Angeles. Two basketball courts are oriented north–south to reduce direct sunlight. A twisting concrete envelope shields the glazed façades—protecting the west side of the south court and the east side of the north court while the rotated second floor provides additional shading.
The program includes a gym, wellness center, terrace café/bar, and a mezzanine for storage and staff. A steel-frame structure with expansive glazing brings natural light into the interior, contrasting with the solid concrete shell. Surrounding gardens and walking paths connect the building to the community and encourage recreation and gathering.
