looks like a pretty interesting idea from DPZ.

Indeed it is.

Great places resonate with the community inhabitants, longevity and sutainability lie in parallel.

Longevity has several benefits, the most obvious of which is the conservation of resources. But pattern longevity also allows sophistication, as the ideas of millions more minds are added to the legacy of a regional language of architecture through decades and centuries.

Part of the problem that New Urbanists face (as evidenced SoWal) is the fact that the movement has only had 35 years to mature; ideas will be much more sophisticated as time passes.

I applaud the developers of Sky.

This location is horrible, it's too far from a large community and too far from the beach, and somehow I doubt folks who prefer the luxury of golf, tennis, and spas are going to be willing to farm their own crops. If you're going to build a kibbutz in the central panhandle, do it right. I like the idea of a community like that, but a "luxury" kibbutz? That's a little over the top.

It's a very interesting idea, but I question the location and who will be working the fields. Sustinince farming is hard on the manicure and they'll need more than solar-powered golf carts to bring in the harvest.

I wish them well. I have concerns as to where the income will come from to support the number of people expected to relocate to Sky. $200K - $600K to live in the middle of nowhere just seems a bit steep. Plus another $90K for the dirt.
I hope 624 homes doesn't threaten the beauty of the Eco-fina and Chipola either.

Could it be possible that the beach is not a consideration?:shock:

I would love to hear your suggestions.

The beach has a significant effect on moderating climate in these parts. Common to be 5 degrees cooler for highs in summer and 10 degrees warmer for lows in the winter when you're right on the Gulf compared to 40 miles inland.
