PLACEMAKING STUDIO co-creates buildings and places, some permanent, some temporary, but all are ultimately "completed" by the life that inhabits them. We work with collaborative teams of socially-minded designers, placemakers, organizations, neighborhoods and citizens on projects that connect people to each other and to where they live.
