PAST PROJECTS:
Laytonville Ecovillage
Permaculture design possibilities
Laytonville was a small, rural community in northern Mendocino County. One mile out of town, the Laytonville Ecovillage was a ten-acre subdivision of four parcels, allowing for the building of eight homes. The vision was to create a green neighborhood, share resources, lower the expense of development, and have fun! There’s an existing redwood-sided farmhouse, cob pizza oven, outdoor kitchen, outdoor solar shower with an on-demand water heater, garden, chickens, roundpole structure, and several outbuildings.
611 Ecovillage
Deck garden with solar-heated hot tub
The 611 Ecovillage was an urban, two-home community in one of Oakland’s historical corridors. Founded in 2000, we performed extensive upgrades to create a green oasis. 611 hosted a solar-heated hot tub, natural paints and finishes, roof deck garden, energy efficient appliances, and numerous green features.
Common area of 611 Ecovillage
