Forms of gathering are explored through three different insertions into the building. A storefront vitrine opens to the sidewalk, a courtyard opens to the sky, and a tiered workshop activates the alleyway. The courtyard enlarges one of the former industrial ventilation hoods in the center of the building, bringing natural light and an outdoor gathering space in the center of the workspace. A folding window opens the bathroom through the south facade. Former wood structure are fashioned into furniture and objects.
