The Proposed Community of Comburn
Site Location
Vision
Comburn is a thoughtful, clustered residential community characterized by natural open spaces that residents can enjoy year-round. The community design will influence wellbeing through the presence of unique natural features. These features will affect social interaction in the community through a significant and strong association. The rolling landscape mimics historic small British towns with a sense of care and conservation throughout the community. Community members can partake in an active lifestyle, wander out their front door, and enjoy common public spaces. Comburn will be committed to camaraderie and integrity both socially and environmentally.
