Where to begin?
Members will vote on where we build the first community: near Atlanta, Georgia, &/or near Austin, TX.
We will prototype a new model of a complete, inclusive, walkable community designed for flourishing for all.
What we’re building:
One 50-acre village will have…
it’s own character
~ 650 economically diverse residents
~ 250 front doors
60/40% for sale vs. rental
a boutique hotel, retreat center, spa, microschool
some restaurants, green power generators, farms, studios, shops, event space, free & affordable housing
How it’s different from a typical development:
Layout · Materials & Technology · Housing Mix
Example plans by R. Bono & R. Calderon, adapted from Rural by Design by Randall Arendt.
LEFT: A neighborhood laid out according to typical current zoning protocols. Boring, segregating, not walkable, not sustainable.
RIGHT: Same amount of land & dwellings (with more variety), plus a small commercial core & a significant greenbelt open space.
Layout · Materials & Technology · Housing Mix
Transcends & Includes the Past
We’re not trying to go back in time. We’re dreaming the future into being.
We’ll use local minimally processed materials & mix ancient building science with today’s best technology & research like 3D printing soil, strawbale SIP’s, AI-enhanced architectural designs, & Green Power to make a habitat that is net-positive, carbon-negative, & non-toxic.
Layout · Materials & Technology · Housing Mix
Housing mix needed to create a Whole Community:
Walk to most of your daily needs in about 5 minutes = about 50 acres.
50 acres = 250 houses by current norms.
250 homes appropriately housing a full spectrum of economic diversity & household sizes means:
A housing mix this diverse is now possible through AI-enhanced architectural design.
Crisis Care & Artists Residences
A third of housing is reserved as free & affordable housing available to people in crisis & artists. Those who choose to participate in the “monastery” program receive free or affordable housing, food, health insurance, child care, & Flourishing School in exchange for up to 30 hours per week of service in the community.
We will measure our success by the degree to which everyone is flourishing.
Are you a developer, landholder, philanthropist, or corporation wanting to give to flourishing for all?
We’d love to connect with you & you with each other!
