DESIGN COMMITMENTS THAT I SEE:

-IN CONTEXT WITH COLRAIN, MA

DEVELOPMENT UNDERWAY:

1. DEVELOPMENT

COMMUNITY DESIGN IS OPEN DESIGN! OPEN DESIGN RELIES ON INDIVIDUAL CREATIVITY KATYWIL DESIGN COMMITTEE: ANNOUNCE AN OPEN MEETING TO CHECK IN WITH ALL NEW DEVELOPMENT. IF SOMEONE SEES ISSUES THAT ADVERSELY EFFECT THE COMMUNITY IT CAN BE DISCUSSED AS A COMMUNITY HERE. EVERY DESIGN IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT KATYWIL VISION. SEEK EXPERT HELP ONLY IF IT CANNOT BE RESOLVED INTERNALLY

IF YOU CAN SUSTAIN SOMETHING LONG ENOUGH FOR A TREE TO GROW, THEN NOTHING ELSE REALLY MATTERS.

Katywil is defined by a dense ecology of projects

IF YOU CAN SUSTAIN SOMETHING LONG ENOUGH FOR A TREE TO GROW, THEN NOTHING ELSE REALLY MATTERS.

1. DWELLING

DWELLING IS MAKING KATYWIL A PLACE.

Dwelling can be short lived

Dwelling can take a lifetime to realize

A loose network of people, events, and structures.

A place with memorable topography.

Dwelling tells stories

Dwelling transforms materials

Dwelling spaces can be simple

Creating a new kind of hearth

Using something common in an unexpected way

Dwelling can be a experience you have washing your hands.

Aging buildings make it easy to dwell
