Victoria Meyers architect is proud to announce that hMa's Won Dharma Retreat has been recognized with an Award of Excellence by the 2012 AIA New York State Design Awards Program.
The project is comprised of five buildings on a 500-acre site in Claverack, New York. The architects designed the campus with a zero-carbon footprint, and all buildings are designed using sustainable materials and state-of-the-art green technologies to minimize energy use.
The area where the buildings were sited had been a brownfield site, used as a rock quarry, and qualified as a Brownfield site. The project included mitigating the quarry area, which has been covered with organic soil, and planted with meadows.
The Won Dharma Retreat is a spiritual center in Claverack, NY for the Won Buddhist Organization; sited on a 500-acre site. The Won Dharma Retreat officially opened in October 2011. Click here to visit the Won Dharma Center website.
