Question 6

What wellness and sustainability practices are contemplated for Aspen Meadows?

Accepted Answer

Sustainable architectural design strategies for Aspen Meadows in building on the landscape include the integration of residential and commercial buildings into the site topography, low massing on the earth for preservation of viewsheds, minimizing the footprints of buildings, maximization of open spaces, and passive solar orientations for the application of the latest technologies in energy-saving designs. These include low-water usage, low-pressure sewer designs, fresh air and heating systems, natural daylight designs, recreational activities, and wellness components seen in home and commercial building designs today.

Sustainable land uses include harvesting and creating locally available and indigenous earth materials, such as stone, rock, top soils, and tree-based products from within our tree harvesting goals. These materials help provide a variety of finished construction aggregates and materials used in developments, entrances, neighborhoods, roads, ski bridges, and utility infrastructure.

Aspen Meadows is designed to be the next generation of Brian Head Resort living, but also remain true “to itself,” meaning its authentic sense of place, its special serenity and solitude that many have found visiting and living in Brian Head for decades.

Future private club amenities are envisioned for Aspen Meadows, but we first plan to survey and discuss with all of our initial Founding Members what amenities are desired most.

Social memberships to club amenities are also being envisioned and considered for access by residents outside of Aspen Meadows in Brian Head. We wish to create a strong and vibrant community, welcoming both those new to Brian Head and local residents, as well as owners of second homes in Brian Head.
