Pockets are surprising gathering spaces created through simple means. Moments of exception are embedded within a dense mixed-use building grid, traveling through channels of light, sound, and air. The carving of the CLT shear wall construction breaks a regularized geometry allowing for changes in light, breath, and thermal delight. The subtraction of this mass introduces new programs into a formerly double-loaded, regular housing building, refining the normal housing block building program.
