When space is designed for people instead of cars, many things happen: neighbors connect, trees are preserved + community life flourishes. In Spokane (WA), the Blockhouse team turned an empty lot near a local brewery into a "pocket neighborhood." Instead of parking lots, they placed micro and skinny homes around old-growth trees, creating shared courtyards and gathering spaces. The result? A community designed for people, not parking (yes, there's still a place to park, but this feature isn't central). We hope you like this repost. Have a great weekend y'all! 🌿
