Our values
“Beliefs divide us. Values unite us.” ― Jeff Rasley
Our values drive our design process and guide our decision making. They help us find and connect with people like you who are ready to create and move into a better future. Together.

Cultivate Curiosity
Our curiosity drives us to ask big questions…Where are the healthiest, happiest, people and places in the world and what can we learn from them? How can we build and live better everywhere? How can we move quickly to address climate, social equity, and resilience?
Catalyze Creativity
Creativity is imagination in action. Imagination is literally how we learn and grow and solve problems. We need our imaginations working at full steam to create solutions to our big (and small) challenges. We believe we can really move the needle if we lean into this value as we design (all together) the spaces, places, systems & solutions that we live with everyday.
Be Courageous
We need courage to walk a mile in the shoes of someone who is suffering and choose to help, to face difficult internal and external challenges and act for the good of all, to think and live in new ways that are better for people and planet.
Develop Diversity
Because it’s the right thing to do but also because it has huge returns on investment for all of us! Research shows us that diverse communities of people (and other lifeforms) are healthier, more resilient, more vibrant, and tend to live in a state of dynamic equilibrium.
Build Trust
Begin Regeneration
We need green neighborhoods, not just buildings.
If you are like us, you want to live a healthy lifestyle in a safe place with good people and fun things to do. And you want all that without feeling like you are breaking the planet.
Complete, compact, all electric neighborhoods reduce carbon emissions by enabling walkability and not burning fossil fuels. Community scale energy, food, and water systems create resilience and reduce the cost of building and living green. Places designed for people, community, and nature (rather than cars) are safer, healthier, and happier.
