Ecological Land Use Planning & Design
Earthflow Design Works uses a Systems Ecology approach to Design that enables us to effectively assist in the widest range of Home, Business and Community projects.

Reading the Patterns of the Landscape
Every property and project has a unique pattern of natural and cultural characteristics. Proper alignment with these patterns is the basis of EarthFlow's Ecosystem Design process.

In any project, we consider the built environment and the natural environment as a whole. By using our ecosystem approach, we can meet the needs for food, water, shelter, energy and commerce.

Buildings are designed not only for optimum solar and polar advantage, but are sited away from ecologically sensitive areas as well. Precautions are taken for the predictable threats of fire, flood, wind and temperature extremes.

Also integral to any sustainable design is comprehensive water and soil conservation planning: roofs, parking lots, roadways and landscapes are designed to harvest run-off water, effectively converting flooding problems into useful water resources.
