Sustainability 

The design focus for Shire Wood is sustainability of the natural environment so current and future generations of humans and wildlife could cohabit peacefully. 

When considering form and function of each home site, privacy from neighboring homes and respect for the existing natural environment were tantamount.

Care was taken to employ land preservation practices to ensure the built environment is complementary and respectful to the natural habitats that weave and wander throughout the property. 

Landscape and storm water management practices were implemented to eliminate runoff into the watershed and provide plant variety and color throughout the seasons. 

Oak, cherry and walnut timber was recycled from the property, and is available for furniture and building material for Shire Wood homes. 

In discrete places, dead trees and brush piles were preserved to provide habitat for wildlife. 

Whenever possible, all road, landscaping, building materials and labor are sourced locally.
