Looking for a regenerative architect – any recommendations (Scandinavia, Australia, or beyond)?

Looking for a regenerative architect – any recommendations (Scandinavia, Australia, or beyond)?

Hi all!

We’re a young family building a small regenerative farm/retreat in Slovenia. We’re looking for a passionate, creative architect (or small studio) to help us design a home and farmstead that actively supports biodiversity and follows permaculture principles. Ideally someone who:

  • Understands (or is inspired by) Scandinavian or Australian architecture
  • Is comfortable designing timber-based structures with natural materials
  • Thinks about water, animals, and trees as part of the design – not just the house
  • Would be open to visiting the land and working closely with us (phased approach)

We already have a local architect to handle permits, so we’re focused on the design, concept, and landscape integration.

If you know someone who would love a project like this – or if you’re that person – please reach out! We’re ready to collaborate and create something meaningful.

Thanks so much! 🌿

Robert

Defensible space and Cal Fire Guidelines

Defensible space and Cal Fire Guidelines

Hey all! I’m new to the Permaculture space. Just bought 4 acres in the Sierra Nevada foothills. Cal Fire recommends spacing out trees and shrubs within 100 feet of a house, and if a shrub is under a tree canopy, the lowest tree branches have to be really high above the shrub. Any advice for an abundant food forest and Permaculture zones, while also complying with wildfire mitigation? Thanks!
