Angwin EcoVillage

The Angwin EcoVillage is a walkable, mixed-use, mixed-

income 380-unit redevelopment of underutilized land

adjacent to the residential liberal arts Pacific Union

College in the hills above Napa Valley. The EcoVillage is

designed as a small, sustainable addition to the town

of Angwin, creating a new center and supporting the

financial viability of the college.

The EcoVillage has at its heart a Square with a

market, local stores with apartments above, and

an inn. Flanking neighborhoods include a mix of

townhomes, cottages and village houses surrounded

by a community-supported organic farm. Sustainable

initiatives include solar panels on all buildings, recycled

water for irrigation, geothermal pumps for heat, public

shuttle to St. Helena and enhanced walkways and bike

paths to reduce auto trips.
