Eco-Neighborhood/Spirit Lake

Location- Okoboji, Iowa
Spring/2013
LA 301

The site location is on one of the last remaining undeveloped shorelines of Lake Okoboji in Iowa.  This project focused on community planning that accommodated environmental and recreational needs. A major goal was to balance profit with public green-space. To achieve this, a mix of housing typologies were designed around community green space.  This approach gives the site a diverse range of users and multiple methods of restoration that can be used for recreation and educational purposes.
