eCOLOGY Village concept:
The eCOLOGY Village is a 259-acre, self-sustaining "living organism" located in Ontario, comprising seven interconnected properties (37 acres each). It reimagines the future of housing by merging intergenerational co-living, advanced care, and nomadic entrepreneurship into a single, energy-positive ecosystem.
Key Pillars:
• Hybrid Living: A seamless blend of active seniors, digital nomads, and young families. Residents range from short-term "sabbatical" entrepreneurs in modular pods to long-term residents in earth-sheltered homes.
• Energy Independence: The village powers itself through the Sentinel Micro-Hydro system (utilizing the on-site brook) and Kinetic Energy Systems (KES) embedded in the "Kinetic Spine" walkways, turning daily movement into electricity.
• Health & Harmony: Designed as a "Sensory Decompression Zone," the landscape features Japanese-style Zen gardens, a protected bird sanctuary, and heated, barrier-free promenades that ensure 365-day accessibility.
• The Economy of Care: A co-operative model where costs are lowered through shared resources (agri-adaptive farming) and community contribution, allowing younger residents to subsidize rent by assisting older neighbors.
It is not just a development; it is a resilient biological machine where technology and nature collaborate to eliminate the friction of modern living.

ecoTown master plan
visualization for the 3,000-hectare "Eclipse Arboretum & Innovation District," broken down into development phases.
Site Overview:
The 3,000-Acre Canvas
This oblique aerial shot establishes the massive scale and strategic location of the site, bordered by Steeles Avenue to the north, Reesor Road to the east, and the winding Rouge River valley to the south. It shows the existing context of agricultural land and the Walmart commercial hub. .
Overlaying the site are the vibrant zoning districts. The Commercial & R&D Hub (Blue) is anchored at Steeles, the High-Density Residential Terraces (Orange) follow the central ridge, and the massive Agri-Tech & Racetrack Complex (Purple) dominates the eastern plateau. The E10C Cabin Clusters (Yellow) are nestled along the sensitive riverbank, all surrounded by the protected Arboretum & Conservation (Green) lands.
Development w/ cutaways
This view uses structural cut-aways to reveal the hidden density and infrastructure. It shows the terraced housing built into the slope, the modular Mass Timber canopy over the racetrack, and the critical subterranean layers including the Maglev Station & Logistics Hub and the Sunken Arboretum Mall with its natural light atriums.
The Composite GIS Master Plan
The final image is a complete GIS-style master plan document. It combines the site overview, zoning overlay, and structural sections into a single, annotated view. This document provides a comprehensive visual summary of the entire project's scope, from the macro-level land use to the micro-level engineering details.

The concern
With considerable support from surrounding communities on the importance and potential ecological impact from climate changes. Action is a preferred reaction.
In this context are several key elements that address environmental concerns in a sensitive environment.
Ecological approaches include strengthening sustainable development of urbanized areas such as a riparian ecosystem.
Here are some examples of urban design to help us achieve our objectives.

Gathering Places
Notes on the city, the town, the village — and eco-scaled environments designed for balance, clarity, and belonging.
T here is something quietly revealing about where people choose to gather. Long before infrastructure became a science, human beings understood a simple truth: we are shaped by proximity.
The city compresses ambition and friction into navigable space. The town trades anonymity for continuity. The village turns space into ritual. And eco-scaled environments aim to restore balance — interaction without overload, stillness without retreat.
