Home Sites |
We may not agree with E.O. Wilson, the evolutionary biologist who says that humans have a genetic preference for dwellings on raised sites looking out over plains or valleys. But if you do, the home sites at Pueblo Verde fit the picture. We took the advice of a master designer: “Study the land for ten years before turning over the first stone.” We studied the knolls and creeks, the plants and animals and the moods of the forest in the changing seasons. We invited professors and students from a design school to use Pueblo Verde as a living laboratory for both master plan and individual home-sites. And we sought input from long-term residents of the area.The diverse sites reflect a conscious effort to balance view, access, privacy, air movement for cooling breezes and the design priority for smart water use in the home landscape. We paid special attention to the native flowering trees and vines so that residents can enjoy the sweep of colors through the seasons. If you enjoy nearness to the natural world, consider making your nest in Pueblo Verde. |
