Village Rue Verte (Dieppe)

A first of its kind in Eastern Canada, the project followed the principles of Conservation Design, whereby housing is constructed in greater density but on a much smaller portion of a development site. The site is treated as a nature reserve, with many management best practices involving surface water in natural areas. The neighbourhood respects the conditions which were on-site prior to our development. Most homes are situated on streets which run east-west, in order to take full advantage of sunlight and the northernmost part of the building site is densely forested to protect from winter winds. Each unit is heated with Natural Gas and has an Energuide rating of 83 or higher. Homeowners sign a mandatory maintenance agreement, whereby all snow clearing and yard maintenance is completed by contractors on a scheduled basis lowering gas emissions from mowers, leaf blowers, snow blowers and eliminates gasoline and oil containers in their garages
