Master Plan for
Environmental Education Center and Residence - Dummerston, VT
Wanting to develop their off-grid site to a place of learning, working with the land, and a potential cohousing project, the clients wanted a master plan that reflected the development of land around the house for maximum food production utilizing permaculture principles. Siting a pond, providing a windbreak, providing plans for future housing, and exploring siting buildings that were constructed of earthen materials were also some of the client requests. Environmental inventory and analysis were provided to guide them in choosing future sites for the final plan.
