Tesseract develops masterplanned communities and neighborhood scale development, integrating resilience and sustainability.

Optional greywater recycling systems that reuse water from sinks, showers, and washing machines for landscape irrigation and/or toilet flushing.

Optional integrated rainwater capture for drinking, fire protection, and drought resilience integrated into building designs.

Available integrated next-generation wastewater treatment and septic.

Efficient insulation, tight building envelope, design standards and innovative materials are low-carbon and minimize energy reliance on the grid, delivering optimized structures that are both comfortable and responsible.

Building orientation and window placement for optimal solar gain, thermal mass strategies using materials like concrete, stone, or water. Natural ventilation systems and stack effect utilization. Seasonal shading solutions (both architectural and landscaping).

Utilizing next-generation auger-based community-scale heat pumps, we can offer heating and cooling for all units with minimal energy use. Solar thermal systems for water heating.

Integrated Solar Canopies, Rooftop Solar, and Awnings, with energy storage mean that the community is able to feed energy back into the grid. Microgrid infrastructure connecting residential units.

Storage and preservation infrastructure can include community root cellars, food processing facilities, and preservation equipment that help residents maximize their harvest and reduce food waste.

Commercial kitchen spaces can support individual meal prep and community dining events, while providing opportunities for food-based businesses and education.

Edible landscaping can be woven throughout the development, with fruit trees, herb gardens, and seasonal vegetables providing both beauty and nutrition while supporting local biodiversity.

We can help you create community agriculture spaces, shared gardens, greenhouses, aquaponics, and vertical farming systems, allowing residents to grow their own food and participate in community-supported agriculture programs.

We support the development of communities that reflect and respond to their place — functionally, aesthetically, and culturally.

Our developments can be designed to connect to surrounding neighborhoods, with public-access to business space, farmer’s markets, shared amenities, and spaces designed to welcome and support broader community participation.

Business districts, commercial kitchens, maker spaces, and coworking areas support local entrepreneurship and create economic opportunities within the community.

Our developments are designed to promote organic social connections, from informal gathering spots like community gardens, parks and courtyards to large spaces for events and celebrations that bring residents together.

Flexible design principles allowing spaces to evolve with changing work needs, technological advances, and community priorities, ensuring long-term relevance and functionality.

Purpose-built environments that encourage knowledge sharing, resource pooling, and creative cross-pollination between residents with diverse skills and businesses.

As appropriate to your site, we can help integrate amenities such as coworking spaces, media labs, cafes/coffee shops, fabrication labs, short-term rentals, and events spaces that enhance community interaction and productivity.

Our developments are designed to help support the productivity and shared abundance of the community. Living spaces connect seamlessly to work areas, with designs that help residents maintain work-life boundaries while eliminating commutes and fostering spontaneous collaboration.
