Our first community, in the Texas Hill Country, is designed around non-toxic materials, clean water systems, EMF-conscious design, and land that is preserved and planned with care for the ecosystem.We’re a global team of designers, architects, engineers, and dreamers across 8 countries. Our goal is to bring healthy, sovereign communities to the edge of every major city in the world.About the SpringsThe Springs is the hospitality and wellness heart of our community. It’s about 89,000 sqft of program set along a natural stream, built to reimagine hospitality through nature-led, sensory, eco-wellness experiences.

It mixes hospitality, wellness, events, retail, and experimental structures on a sensitive natural site, and much of it hasn’t been done before in this form.The roleYou’ll lead the Springs architecture team and own the design from concept to construction.
