PORCH PROJECT
an experimental
multifaceted mindmap
of relationship,
evolving in creative collaboration,
in the context of community,
through a lens of
MEND, TEND, EXTEND
Porch Project is the collaborative community-oriented design practice of Deb Durant and Matt Winkelstein, bridging architecture and interiors, design, art, craft, and social impact. Through this creative venture, we are working to honor and amplify positive voices, messages, and actions, directing our attention and energy toward hyper-local, human-scaled projects that strengthen community and support creativity as form of public service.

"We sat on the porch, in comfortable rocking chairs, listening intently to Joanna Macy reading Rilke's sublime and mystical poem, Let This Darkness Be a Bell Tower."
