The Potter’s Lane transitional housing development is a unique solution to help address the continuing homeless crisis in Southern California. The first project of its kind in California, the units are comprised of single-use commercial shipping containers. Each 480-sf studio-style unit is constructed from three 20-ft containers. The development features 15residences, one manager’s unit, a community room, courtyard with BBQ area, laundry facilities and a community garden. Potter’s Lane development was specifically built to provide housing for homeless veterans.

Working with landscape architects RJM Design Group and architect James Mickartz, tk1sc has helped energize downtown Ontario, California, with its new Town Center Square. The development of Ontario Town Square is part of the City of Ontario's plan to invigorate downtown Ontario and transform the area into a model of sustainable living, for which tk1sc provided Electrical and Audio-Visual Engineering services. The project team designed this Town Center's exterior to use 34% less energy than stipulated by California's stringent Title 24 energy code. Meeting civic concerns for safe light levels, energy savings, and low maintenance, StudioK1 devised a simple but elegant lighting scheme, supporting the rhythms of the central spine and the nautilus-shaped pathways and highlighting the new civic icon, the clock tower.
