Desert Farming Moisturizer
Transition from drylands to Domingo Eco-Community
Domingo Eco-Community is an residential project located in Santo Domingo in New Mexico. The design connects a strategic approach for the establishment of a community with the organic urban farming operation, cultivating agriculture and productive landscape value to serve as a community resource and economic development opportunities in a dry land. The goal is to provide an affordable housing development for a micro-moisture habitat for humanity with the harmony of relationships between cultural form and practice, historical and productive landscapes, conservation and sustainable development.

The one of the biggest challenges for the design is to use the arroyo watershed to organize community with consideration of the future users and the sustainable needs for them.
SITE PLAN
program
The flowing of water across the site as a great opportunity to shape the whole 250 units community with the key considerations for how the settlement is to be developed with 9 blocks. Water runoff from the hills down to the lower point will drain the crops and establish three major green corridor as essential passages to support each clusters in the community.

The design process is to build a productive community which more like a comprehensive system for low tech sustainable site development in Domingo area through the use of bio-filtration of water resources and recycling of grey water to create a micro-moisture space with alternative energy source solar power to make the transition from desert to a sustainable community. the different layers including the house terrace, hydrology system, landscape agriculture field and the typologies of crops and livestock in the community.

The Building front facade and backyard create the neighborhood courtyard relationship and habitat exchange. Each building has its systems, such as the solar power panel, roof green, wall green to keep the house cooling and energy saving. Houses has a front facade that faces with the solar orientation and easy accessible to the street, squares, plaza, and farming center weeds park.
