Carducci, in collaboration with the Healthcare Foundation of Northern Sonoma County, Goring & Straja Architects, Corazón Healdsburg, Alliance Medical Center, and On the Margins, developed a vision to transform the existing Abel De Luna Community Center in Healdsburg into a vibrant and welcoming multicultural hub.

Through community workshops, the design team integrated 10 Community Mandates voiced by Healdsburg’s Latino community into a comprehensive master plan. The plan outlines phased renovations that include painting the exterior with bright colors and murals to bring energy to the site, and enhancing the existing courtyards with ethnobotanical plantings, added shade, and flexible spaces for events and gatherings. It also strengthens the indoor/outdoor connections between the Multipurpose Room and Library.

The planned renovation supports inclusiveness, connection, sustainability, and intuitive wayfinding.
