Little Sisters of the Assumption Family Health Service, a nonprofit social-services organization, has a colorful new home in East Harlem designed by Peter L. Gluck, a Manhattan architect, right. The building, at 23,000 square feet, cost $4.5 million.
Mr. Gluck created a facade with red and blue metal panels alternating with glass. The red ones are doors, which open to let in fresh air. ''Windows are more expensive than simple door panels,'' he said.

The red doors are yellow on the inside, so when they open, they animate the facade. ''Color is not a cost factor,'' said Mr. Gluck, who also used yellow in a waiting room for clients. Most waiting rooms have grim rows of chairs. The one he designed has red chairs around a table, where children can draw. The building has a horizontal steel frame, so the walls are not structural and can be moved to adapt to the agency's changing needs (or even a new owner).

Children with asthma, like B'Auganae Jackson, 7, inset, take classes where they paint and draw and play games like dodge ball. The agency helps children with asthma exercise in a healthy way, said Sister Judith Garson, the executive director of the center. The organization was providing visiting nurses, day care and emergency food to about 6,000 people from five locations. The new space has allowed it to consolidate services; the address is 333 East 115th Street.

SUSANNAH MONTY presents her

EXHIBITION OF PHOTOGRAPHY as FINE ART

Limited Editions of photographs of New York and of Suffolk Aldeburgh Cinema Gallery; Afterwards at Orford Town Hall (New Room)
July 29 - August 12, 2005

SUSANNAH MONTY is returning to her native Suffolk. Now a New York resident she is visiting expressly to exhibit her photographic work currently enjoying American acclaim and popularity. Susannah describes her arresting work as derived from the unintentional and unexpected; like some accidental groupings of words that have resonance she finds poetry similarly

in storage tanks, wall textures, signs or doorways. The richness is glimpsed through Susannah’s eye….and lens.

The pictures are refreshing and thought-provoking; they are also a pleasure to live with!
