Permaculture is defined as “the harmonious integration
of the landscape with people providing their food,
energy, shelter, and other material and non-material
needs in a sustainable way.” Using the framework
for permaculture gardens, Meridian Village creates
a home that exists symbiotically with its environment.
The conscious relationship between the residents, the
gardens, and the greenhouses - which have the diversity,
stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems - builds a
healthy community. Meridian Village strives to create
housing that goes beyond typical green design and
create housing that is regenerative to the environment
and its residents. The aim is to integrate the environment
and people in a way that is innovative and inclusive.
