Regenerative Property Design (Designing Sustainable Living) is a comprehensive service that transforms land parcels into thriving, autonomous living systems. The process begins with understanding the client’s vision and site constraints. Remote assessments are conducted using proprietary data tools to consider topography, climate, hydrology, and ecology. Concept designs are created, followed by detailed designs for integrated systems in water, energy, food, and land. These systems include passive solar greenhouses with climate battery technology, rainwater capture and storage, greywater recirculation, microgrid solar power, edible landscaping / food forests, and ecological land shaping (such as swales, ponds, and soil regeneration). Clients can opt for 5th World to oversee construction and maintenance for proper implementation and long-term performance. The design is bespoke and holistic, with interconnected components supporting each other: water reuse supports gardens, energy powers infrastructure, and landscape design promotes biodiversity and microclimates. The goal is to create properties that sustain themselves, regenerate the land, adapt to climate change, and provide abundance (clean water, nutritious food, and resilient energy) over decades.

Key Characteristics (with emphasis on sustainable living design)

• Holistic, systems-based design: food + water + energy + land

• Use of passive solar greenhouses with climate battery technology

• Rainwater harvesting, storage, and greywater reuse

• Microgrid solar power systems and energy management

• Land shaping (swales, ponds, contours) for water capture and soil health

• Integration of food forests, edible landscapes, permaculture design

• Bespoke design process: from remote assessment → concept → detailed engineering → implementation

• Strong discipline in ecological and engineering integration

• Option to oversee build and maintenance to ensure design fidelity

• Long experience (20+ years cited in their team’s capabilities) in regenerative and systems design
