Our commitment to the environment begins with preserving the natural wildlife habitat, pristine streams, and towering spruce and pine forest, to which a third of the NordHavn site is dedicated. As we bring this community to life, we are striving to limit our environmental impacts by designing clustered homes with small footprints, and by restoring naturalized landscapes with native species. Our ecological construction approach reflects important choices to use materials and building practices which minimize the environmental impact of NordHavn.  We have chosen to build with sustainably harvested cross-laminated mass-timber that sequesters more carbon than is consumed by construction while also making a healthier living environment inside our cabins.  We have selected high-efficiency systems like state-of-the-art inverter heat pumps and European triple-glazed thermal windows. Our carports separate cars from cabins to reduce forest impact and minimize impervious surfaces like roads and driveways. They also incorporate high-speed L-2 chargers to support residents with electric vehicles.  We hope that our future residents will join us as stewards for this unique place in all its natural wonder.
