Sustainable Community


We have been working with Ecosphere Investments on a sustainably driven residential development. This development is featuring 10 homes that will all be built to meet or exceed built-green and/or energy star standards. To complement this, the site plan has been designed to foster community, reduce hard scape, and to be environmentally focused. We are incorporating things such as bio-swales, native plant materials, community, and very limited turf grass. Each home will be carefully sited to provide private outdoor living space in a tightly packed development. The developers are also exploring a community wide geothermal heating and cooling system, Photovoltaic power, and many other ideas. We created some graphics for them to use in the sustainable living fair where they are giving there first marketing exposure to the community. This is indeed, an exciting community that we believe will be the future of development.
