Peacehaven Farm
Giamportone Design is the Architect for the first housing building for the Peachaven campus in Whitsett, NC. This building is in Schematic Design and is being designed for adults with mental and physical disabilities. Giamportone Design facilitated a design Charrette for this 90 acre organic farm with Sustainable Living Design for Peacehaven Farm, with the community, potential users and their families, the design team, volunteers and other stakeholders. The integrated process generated the conceptual design now being developed. Their goal is to create a net-zero energy sustainable living community on an organic farm in rural North Carolina.
