HM Design provided full services (from Conceptual Design to Construction Documents) and the local team consisted of a regionally based Architect of Record, Interior Designer, Mechanical Engineer, Electrical Engineer, Civil Engineer, Structural Engineer, Quantity Surveyor and a Community Crafts Liaison. The master plan includes four different types of villas, tree houses, conference center, wellness center, nature activity center, tree houses, library, and trails.
