Fraser Lake Eco Co-op

The Fraser Lake Eco Co-Op will be a state of the art facility centralizing sustainability functions in one unique location. The Eco Co-op will act as an incubator to streamline services, develop resources, create jobs, and improve food security, while exemplifying environmental stewardship, and celebrating culture. The scope of the feasibility study involves the exploration of design solutions related to materials, energy and water on the facility. Building on the work of the Eco Co-op board, a brief exploration of cultural and contextual data will help solidify our understanding of the community’s narrative. Supported by precedent research, the study will evolve into an evaluation of existing and emerging resources and technologies. In doing so, the next step will be a schematic design process to consolidate materials and technology research into three design options. Such options will be proposed to the community, which will then inform decisions on an implementation plan.
