CultureHouse improves livability in local communities by transforming underutilized spaces into vibrant social infrastructure.
Our process
Research
We work with community partners to identify pain points, opportunities, and scope projects.
Community engagement
Through advisory groups and participatory action, we create plans that meet neighborhood criteria.
Design/build
Using tactical urbanist methods, we design and build spaces that are accessible and encourage interaction.
Operation
We invite people into projects, provide programming, foster community, and collect data.
Impact report
By analyzing qualitative and quantitative data, we document findings and provide a path forward for continued development.

Design/Build
Using tactical urbanist approaches, we transform public spaces into vibrant social anchors—making room for play, conversation, and action.
Community Engagement
Through interactive and participatory methods, we engage communities in a way that provides genuine value, proactively addresses conflict, and demonstrates the direct impact of their feedback.
Create your own community pop-up
We created our pop-up community space concept to be adapted and iterated by others. We can help you create one in your community! Take a look at our Handbook to see how we created our first pop-up space and how you can open your own.
