This community is a holistic cooperative dedicated to safeguarding the planet, its inhabitants, and animals. They provide high-quality, healthy food while fostering community connections and support. Operating across agriculture, culture, craftsmanship, education, commerce, habitation, construction, and services, they focus on land and human regeneration. Their key goals include bridging generational gaps and integrating long-term residents with newcomers in the bioregion. The community serves as a hub for experiencing regenerative practices and sharing knowledge, promoting accessible, healthy food and sustainable living.
For this project we did a site survey and mapped the land by drone. A desk research and GIS analysis of the land and it's climate were performed before going into the fase of concept design.
