Project: Harmony Life
An international benchmark for sustainable and innovative architecture

1. Stilted Design as an Innovative Solution

The project adopts a stilted architecture concept, with all structures elevated 10 feet above a protected wetland ecosystem, completely avoiding landfill in areas designated for construction. This approach:

Preserves the ecological integrity of the site.
Allows the natural flow of water, air, and wildlife.
Represents a technical and cultural response adapted to the environment, commonly used in sensitive areas worldwide (e.g., Amazon, Asia, coastal regions resilient to climate change).

This solution aligns with bioclimatic and resilient architectural practices, making it a globally replicable model.

2. Minimal Intervention and Active Preservation of the Environment

Only 20% of the total area is occupied by infrastructure.
Internal roads, the only areas with soil intervention, are designed with box culverts, allowing water flow and wildlife passage.

The design fosters a harmonious coexistence between infrastructure and nature — a central quality of 21st-century urban design standards.

3. Compliance with LEED Standards

The project demonstrates alignment with international sustainability standards such as LEED, excelling in:

Protection of sensitive ecosystems
Green infrastructure and regenerative design
Low water and climate impact
Sustainable architectural innovation

This positions Harmony Life as an ideal candidate for international certifications and as a model of responsible design against climate change.

4. Morphological Coherence, Landscape Integration, and Sensory Experience

Through analysis of the Master Plan and provided renderings, the following can be observed:

Light volumetry, harmonious proportions, and elevated structures creating a sensation of floating and visual lightness.
Respectful landscape integration, generating contemplative spaces and an immersive experience with nature.
Use of modular elements enabling flexible construction and international replicability.

5. GVA Inspiration and Global Projection

Although not officially confirmed as a GVA Architects project, Harmony Life’s approach incorporates many principles that this renowned Mexican firm has championed internationally:

Functional innovation with local identity
Sustainability through design
Design aimed at enhancing quality of life

Reedy Creek Harmony Life’s vision directly echoes the values promoted by leading global architects: reducing the ecological footprint without sacrificing human experience and aesthetic quality.

Reedy Creek Harmony Life is not merely a real estate development — it is a declaration of principles, a contemporary model placing ecology and livability at the center.

Due to its:

Technical innovation (stilt architecture)
Ecological sensitivity (low land occupancy, wetland integration)
Alignment with international design and sustainability standards

… it is considered a world-class architectural benchmark.

The firm Arquitectonica, which developed the Master Plan, has been listed among the WA100 largest and most respected architectural firms worldwide, ranked 65th in 2013 by London’s Building Design magazine.
