Prosperity Farm
Our task is to design an off-grid farm with accommodations for the owners, workers, and guests. With a recent goal to become net zero by 2050, the Dominican Republic has taken leaps and bounds towards sustainability. This makes the Dominican Republic a perfect location for net-zero construction. Our project reflects this outlook in its sustainability, aesthetics, and innovation. Using local materials, sustainable strategies, and emerging ideas, our project will be at the forefront of sustainability. Through extensive research, we used and studied local materials, construction, production, and cultural traditions. Our sustainability techniques aim to highlight the power of passive design. The use of ground sheltering will help maintain an occupant comfort level. The building orientation will aid in heating and cooling. By using local materials like bamboo, coral stone, and other masonry materials we will help stimulate local business while maintaining aesthetics. By harmonizing with the landscape, we will create cinematic panoramas that add to the existing area. These factors aim to create a hospitable stay for guests and owners. Our farm will not only ensure comfort, but also functionality. Our barn and worker housing will ensure maximum productivity. The large and spacious barn has several floors and allows for multi-use spaces. With these goals in mind, we hope to create off-grid architecture that is pleasing to the eye, functional, and keeps occupant comfort at the forefront of design.
