City Fabrick

We’re honored to celebrate the recognition of WLAVA Campus Buildings 156 & 157 with a 2026 Preservation Design Award in the category of Rehabilitation from the California Preservation Foundation.

City Fabrick partnered with the WLAVA Veterans Collective development team and KFA on campus master planning and urban planning at the West LA VA campus, including planning efforts connected to Buildings 156 & 157. We’re grateful to have contributed to a broader vision that supports veterans while preserving the campus’ historic legacy.

Congratulations to the entire Building 156 + 157 project team on this meaningful achievement

We’re excited to be working with the City of Lynwood on the Livable Lynwood Initiative, a new effort to identify housing solutions that support economic development and neighborhood revitalization.

Through this work, we’ll help explore how Lynwood’s commercial corridors can evolve to create new housing opportunities, strengthen local businesses, and support vibrant, community-serving neighborhoods.

Four years in, Senior Designer Yancy Gamboa continues to bring curiosity, craft, and care to the work of City Fabrick. From early concepts to the details that bring a project to life, Yancy’s thoughtful approach helps shape spaces that are grounded in community and purpose.

We’re grateful for the creativity, perspective, and dedication he brings to our team. Here’s to Yancy and four years of meaningful impact at City Fabrick!

Our Executive Director and Principal, Brian Ulaszewski, was featured in L*OSMONAUTA, an annual wrap-up of articles published throughout the year by OSMO Design Studio in Italy.

The interview, “Beyond Blueprints: Public Interest Design and the Power of Community Agency,” explores City Fabrick’s approach to community-centered planning and design, from affordable housing and public space to the role of creativity, collaboration, and advocacy in shaping more equitable cities.

As Brian shares in the conversation, our work is rooted in listening first, building trust, and helping communities shape the future of their own neighborhoods.

Thank you to OSMO Design Studio and L*OSMONAUTA for including Brian and City Fabrick in this year’s publication.
