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. 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. 76 Little Sisters of the Assumption Family Health Service An innovative glass facade creates an inviting setting for this neighborhood organization.
