Throwback to one of our favorite designs! Rethinking our relationships with our lived environments, Forest House experiments with liminal structures and hybrid spaces in the forested hills of Northern California.

The forest and house are one, with indoor and outdoor rooms suspended between the canopy and the floor. Rather than a singular building, the house comprises a cluster of tent cabins. The tented roofs and walls allow a connection with the natural setting—its sounds and changing seasons.

Last week, we celebrated the opening of the new Urban Alchemy Oasis at the corner of Turk and Hyde in the Tenderloin District. Once an empty parking lot, this corner site became the nation’s largest open-air drug market during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thanks to the vision of the Urban Alchemy founders and their peacekeeping and community-building mission, a community sanctuary now occupies a space that was once a site of neighborhood trauma.

We worked with the Urban Alchemy team, transforming the site and creating a park for peaceful adults to come to sit, play games, and be treated to free coffee, tea, and water, in a safe, clean environment. The site also features a lush dog park, the only place in the Tenderloin where pets can run freely off-leash, against the backdrop of the “Rivers to the Sky” mural by Adrian Arias.

We are incredibly excited to announce the return of the [in person!] PROXY Spring Series. Come out and enjoy a movie (or five!) under the stars every Friday night in April at the PROXY Walk-in Theater. See link in bio for details.

After two years of sheltering in place and remote work, this year’s series explores the concept of ‘home’. What does home mean for those who are seeking, for those who are misunderstood, or, simply, for our future together on this planet. How do we look to a greater definition of home within communities or within oneself?

We celebrate the Spring season with some beautiful photos from our friends who received their seedings earlier this month.
This is the next phase of ENVELOPE’s campaign to plant hundreds of trees from .justice to support and nurture our beloved Earth and grow a more sustainable future.

If you also received a seedling from us, please share images of their new home with us! We’re excited for them to become big trees one day!

//// Notes from our friends:

-” Two Canyon Live Oak trees have been planted in their new wildflower meadow home!” “It is truly a transformative act and invokes the great joy of being a steward of place and witnessing how my simple daily care-taking actions can help bring about a beautiful abundance of life.”

“Transplanted on the Spring Equinox, March 21, 2022, to a beautiful pot.”

-Two conifers (a Deodar Cedar + a Port Orford Cedar) in their new home in West Marin!

-” What a hopeful act on which to start yet another tumultuous year.”
