Opportunity House

A Gateway to Transformation and Educational Empowerment in Westwood

Opportunity House, a 1950s Spanish-style estate nestled in the heart of Westwood, Los Angeles, once resonated with the vibrant energy of a sorority house. Today, it stands as a beacon of hope, reborn as a sanctuary for young men transitioning out of correctional institutions.

With a design ethos rooted in forgiveness and second chances, Opportunity House embraces its residents with a palette of warm, inviting tones, creating an atmosphere of upliftment and possibility.

Echoing the camaraderie of a social club, the communal areas, including a vibrant study lounge, offer spaces for connection and shared growth.

Each student has a fully furnished room to call home in this safe and inspiring environment while furthering their education.

Reimagined by Ryan White Designs, this sprawling residence embraces a whimsical European sensibility, infusing the space with a palpable sense of optimism and renewal.

This expansive 10,000-square-foot haven, encompassing 20 bedrooms and 20 baths, serves as LA Room & Board’s charitable initiative, offering young men a haven to heal, learn, and thrive.
