Resident participation in the design of an ecovillage and the ecohousing community is the key to success.

Residents participate in the design of  the:

• Site
• Common House
• Private Units

Design professionals get it right for you--just the way you want it. They help your community decide the best uses of your site and other resources.

We think the best communities are those which are designed by the residents for their own use.
