Creating desirable places to live is a crucial component of promoting sustainable choices across an entire community or city. The longer residents remain in the same location, the more invested they become in the health of their surrounding environment. Undoubtedly, a lifelong resident is going to foster greater concern for the health of the land and water of their community than someone who is simply a short-term resident. This effect is increased even more with each long-term resident in that a critical mass is established among neighbors committed to being stewards for the environment they live in. Therefore, it became absolutely crucial to the Stuttio Workshop team that our design would be one that would appeal not only to young homeowners, but a place that could adapt to inevitable changes (children, live-in parents and grandparents) that occur over the course of a family’s life.
