Project Overview

Balancing Modern Living with Environmental Respect

Nestled in Gig Harbor, WA, The Greens is a private, gated, 20+ house community rooted in sustainable design, making Ground Frame Foundations a natural choice for the builders. The innovative foundation system, using the earth’s soil as support, was tailored to meet the community’s unique building lot requirements, minimizing deep soil and vegetation disturbance while supporting the natural landscape. Emphasizing eco-conscious practices, the Ground Frame system also allowed for a higher density of homes without compromising the area’s ecological integrity, preserving The Greens’ commitment to balance modern living with environmental respect.

This thoughtfully developed neighborhood incorporates environmentally conscious features, including rain gardens and bioretention areas that echo the natural forested landscape and allow for vibrant native vegetation to thrive. The roads and driveways are constructed with pervious pavement, ensuring groundwater can freely flow. Every aspect of The Greens, from the open spaces to the eco-friendly construction methods, reflects a commitment to harmonizing the comforts of home with the preservation of the natural environment.
