The Walk: A Living Build Project
Joie is focusing now on a new project, with Living Build goals in mind, on the Island called ‘the Walk’. The Living Build Construction model is defined as a structure that “generates all of its own energy with renewable non-toxic resources, captures and treats all of its water, and operates efficiently and for maximum beauty.” This new project, ‘the Walk’ achieves many of these goals.
The Walk is designed to be a net zero energy community. That means that if you Purchase or choose to rent here, solar is already on your roof. Each home is configured to maximize space, light, and comfort. We have carefully curated the healthiest materials to finish your home, from PVC-free windows to sustainably harvested wood floors, wool carpets, and ductless heat pumps.
