1. DEVELOPMENT

KATYWIL DESIGN COMMITTEE:

ANNOUNCE AN OPEN MEETING TO CHECK IN WITH ALL NEW DEVELOPMENT.

IF SOMEONE SEES ISSUES THAT ADVERSELY EFFECT THE COMMUNITY IT CAN BE DISCUSSED AS A COMMUNITY HERE.

EVERY DESIGN IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT KATYWIL VISION.

SEEK EXPERT HELP ONLY IF IT CANNOT BE RESOLVED INTERNALLY

COMMUNITY DESIGN IS OPEN DESIGN!OPEN DESIGN RELIES ON INDIVIDUAL CREATIVITY

1. DWELLING

DWELLING IS MAKING KATYWIL A PLACE.

DWELLING IS MAKING KATYWIL A PLACE.

Dwelling can be short lived
