Greenbelt

The Hawthorne EcoVillage’s Greenbelt Community Master Plan presents a model for an affordable, safe, and livable single-family community with shared site amenities in a moderately-dense development.

The eleven homes are organized to encourage pride and ownership in the neighborhood. A “house as product” model relies on the site design to create a sense of community and engage the residents by establishing a continuum of porches, yards, greens and gardens that accommodate private space along with flexible social interactions. The landscape leverages native vegetation in order to balance sustainability goals, safety, maintenance, and beauty.
