Join YARD & Co. on December 6 from 12:00-1:00 PM, in welcoming our friend and colleague, Ross Chapin, to Cincinnati. Inspired by Christopher Alexander and in response to the acute challenges in housing markets across the country, Ross will be sharing his experience in designing and developing human-scaled Pocket Neighborhoods across the country.  Learn more at https://pocket-neighborhoods.net/

Ross Chapin is an architect and long-time advocate for sensibly sized houses and vibrant neighborhoods. He leads an architectural and planning firm on Whidbey Island, north of Seattle, Washington, where he has lived and worked since 1982. Their focus is on custom residential design and pocket neighborhood planning in the Northwest Region and across North America. Ross has been a development partner on six pocket neighborhood projects, and has designed more than 3-dozen neighborhoods across the country for other developers. Many of these innovative housing and neighborhood prototypes have received national media coverage and professional peer review, and have shifted mainstream thinking about housing. He is a frequent lecturer and the author of the acclaimed book, Pocket Neighborhoods: Creating Small Scale Community in a Large Scale World.
