Springwood Apartments Amenities

Kent, Washington

The Pomegranate Center, a Seattle-area nonprofit center dedicated to community, art, and environmental concerns, planned and coordinated this project for a low-income apartment complex. A series of mailbox shelters and pavilions offer the local equivalent of a village well, accommodating social interactions amongst the heavily immigrant and young resident population. These structures were built of small diameter timber culled from a private overstocked forestland, demonstrating the creative use of a local resouce and the opportunity to improve the health of forests and rural communities in the northwest.
